I’m not in any shows currently, but am continuing to paint and write poetry. My poem, “Salamander Rain”, recently appeared online in the March 20, 2025 (first day of spring!) issue of Tiny Seed Literary Journal. This poem is about the local migration of spotted salamanders to their birth ponds on the night of the first warm spring rain, where they engage in a breeding '“dance” called “Liebespiel”. Years ago, I made a pastel painting of my “artist’s conception” of Liebespiel, shown here.
