For #NationalPoetryMonth ,Virginia Poet Laureate Luisa A. Igloria has curated the Poetry Postcard Project, in which she invited writers to submit a postcard with "a short, original poem that shows some part of your 'here.'" This digital exhibition highlights a new poem and image for every day in April. I'm thrilled to have my work featured for today, April 25: www.luisaigloria.com/blog .
