Last night’s release party for Stone Canoe no. 13 at The Downtown Writer’s Center was such a blast! What an honor and a delight to be the guest Poetry Editor for this issue! Thank you to everyone who sent in your poems for consideration and to the 25 poets whose work appears in the issue. It was such a joy to hear poetry readings by Laura Donnelly, Devon Branca, Genoa Wilson, and Jackie Craven (apologies for my blurry cell photos). Huge thanks to the diligent Assistant Editors Judy Carr, Cindy Ostuni, and Gloria Heffernan — your wise work has paid off in a beautiful issue and you should be proud. Thank you to Managing Editor Carol Biesemeyer for your many considerations. And thank you again to Phil Memmer for inviting me to be a part of this issue. Everyone should order a copy and chase the winter blues away with all the poems, fiction, nonfiction…there’s also a play, interviews with Alison Lurie and Edward Hower, a trove of visual art! Long live Stone Canoe!

Even the sub-arctic chill of this polar vortex can’t cool the thrill of receiving my copies of The Florida Review, which contains my lyric essay “Root That Mountain.” I’ve shared the first three pages here. This essay is from my series on the four elements; it’s the dirt essay. Thank you to my friends J Keirn-Swanson and Dustin Nightingale for letting me interview them for it. Thank you to Lisa Roney, Mike Shier, and the rest of The Florida Review staff.
