This is a photo of a poem that won Honorable Mention in Passager’s 2025 Poetry Contest. I was only able to receive a digital copy of the issue for the moment but the print copy is available to purchase for US residents. I’m so pleased this poem finally made its way into the world! Here’s to “being here now” so to speak!
My poem “Lovers In The Lobby” is now up at Blue Heron Review. Many thanks to editor Cristina Norcross for including it in this themed summer issue: Aspects of Love. My poem is second to last, so there’s a lot of scrolling; you can read it here.
Along the way, please also read my good friend Mike Lewis-Beck’s poem “Purple Love” – wonderful to find ourselves in the same issue! And there are some stunning photos accompanying the poems too!
