I’m thrilled to share that my poem “My Body The Hymn” is now up at Blue Heron Review, Issue 18 – Transformation and Change. It couldn’t have found a better home! My deep thanks to editor Cristina Norcross for including it. The poem is about halfway down the page (18th – you have to scroll) and can be read here

Wow, Lynne! I love how you introduce and construct this hymn! Though, at some level, I could glean from the first moment its whole, underlying rationale, I was still delightfully surprised by to arrive at this moment:
“so I can be here with you
no landmines exploding,
love flaring instead
in us…”
Glory be!

This takes true understanding.
Congratulations, Lynne.
