Wow! I just got my contributor copies of The Iowa Review and I’m touched and delighted to see that my poems open the issue, and that the first one, which has kite flying in it, has a marvelous photo of kites opposite it. HUGE THANK YOUs to Abagail Petersen, Lynne Nugent, Katie Berta and everyone at TIR. I have had poems published online at TIR, and now it’s a thrill to have 2 poems in this print issue!
