As I write and create posts, I review my work. For example, if a poem from a blog has been reprinted, I note the credit. I have a few ideas for a new book when the time seems right, and want to say thank you to the editors and publishers.

My primary blog is Poems From Oostburg, Wisconsin. We began there in December 2009. I write new poems and review our archives, and present older content in new ways.
