Sloboda's poems take place in his yard as he prepares himself and his yard for Spring. However, [...]

Tom Mahony " Dead Glass " Illustrated by Jennifer Noel Bower (Folded Word, March 30th) Perhaps it is because I have lived in the Midwest my entire life or that I recently spent a week on the beaches of Southern California, but there is something magical and enchanting about the ocean.
