“Our Apple Trees” published as a Thrush Press Broadside

Posted on by

The broadside of my poem “Our Apple Trees” has just been published by Thrush Press. It’s available for $3.50 (S&H included).

To order a broadside, you just login to your own PayPal account, and send $3.50 to account: hvitoria@msn.com. Indicate which Broadside you are ordering with either name of poem(s) or poet(s), and the number of each desired, in the notes section on Paypal or in an email to hvitoria@msn.com.

Each broadside is handmade, stamped, and backed with art paper of different patterns. It’s a beautiful object and I’m proud to have my poem published in such a form. The poem itself is inspired by the old Amish farms in Ohio where my dad used to take me wild mushroom picking when I was a kid.

The above is a photograph of some of them which I just took in my backyard with the neighbor watching me, probably wondering why I was decorating an evergreen tree in August.
