Major Milestone
There are some goals that count as professional milestones. Publishing in Prairie Schooner was a lifelong goal that at one point seemed impossible, and yet, my poem "Corseted Soldier" was published.
I found myself published with mentors and poets I've admired and studied for part of my MFA.
Pick up a copy. Support the arts. Enjoy the beauty of words.
