Last Saturday, I had the privelage of reading with some of the writers in the latest installment of Lips. There was an amazing energy in the air as poets gathered and read. The love for Laura Boss, the late founder of Lips, was palpable in the room. Thank you Jim Gwyn, Ken Ronkowitz, Maria Gillan, and Emily Rose (for always lending a hand) and the rest of the Laura Boss Foundation Board for making this event happen. Pick up a copy of this anthology. Submit your work. There is comfort and strength in poetry.
