The Summer 2020 issue of Still Point Arts Quarterly. The theme of this issue is Making a Mark. It includes the work of roughly forty amazing artists and writers from all over the world. I hope you enjoy it. Please read my story On Pelican’s Wharf, page 100.

I am an author, poet, humorist, and short story writer living in Long Beach, California. I write about various topics, from my early childhood in Philadelphia to my years as a family therapist and finally to my soul-searching in California. These are poetic narratives that may have humorous or serious content or both. Either way, I hope my poetry and stories resonate with you. My books include Magical Yogis, Uncommon Love Stories, Awkward Grace, Junkyard Souls, and Rain on Cabrillo.

    Well done! Tremendous sense of relief at the end, apparently I was holding my breath, so very effective writing! 🙂 I’ve seen those birds, from a distance, on the coasts of Maryland and Virginia, and also pretty close…in Utah, of all places! They’re big enough I’d hesitate to approach one.
