KFP walking through snow

For those who might be unaware, the recent hiatus was mostly due to coping with my mother’s sudden death just before Thanksgiving. I hope to return to a more regular publishing schedule now, returning to doing the work I so love.

This week, our contributors reflect the images and thoughts of late winter.

The Shield,” a poem by Llyn Clague, captures the reflection embodied by gray late winter days.

Centred,” a poem by Canadian poet Joanna M. Weston, presents a quiet moment of peaceful contemplation.

Snow Trails,” a poem by Larsen Bowker, takes us deep into the woods on a snowy day.
