"Armed"

My poem "Armed" appears in Issue 5.2 of Star 82 Review, an art and literature magazine, online and print that highlights words and images in gemlike forms.

Each issue features subtle humor, humility and humanity, the strange and the familiar, and a home for the displaced person. (Star 82 is the code needed to unblock one's phone number.)
"Growing up Jewish in the
American South" and
"What Racism?"
"Growing up Jewish in the American South" and "What Racism?" appear in 11/9: The Fall of American Democracy, edited by William D. Dickerson and Casey Lawrence.

Presenting the diverse voices of those most affected by the results of the 2016 American presidential election, it is dedicated to "everyone who has been harassed, groped, or otherwise victimized by someone in a position of power."

One hundred percent of profits from the sale of this book will be donated to The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), to help support survivors of sexual violence and defend the constitutional rights of Americans. .

What food you eat, whether your family nurtures or abuses you, and how friends fit into your life determine whether you live in despair or delight, cringing or cavorting through your days. The poems in Food ♦ Family ♦ Friends capture the marvelous and the malignant of all three.
