I love @redbranchreview.bsky.social. And I’m so glad they included a sonnet of mine in this issue!

This is one of my podcast favorites. Both because @kdwinchester.bsky.social is a good friend and because I love how she promotes Appalachian stories and poetry. And this episode with @noahsoltau.bsky.social of @redbranchreview.bsky.social was especially enjoyable!
