Writers in the Sky February Newsletter presents Riehl’s poem “Window Frame” from “Sightlines: A Poet’s Diary”
I sent an excerpt from WINDOW FRAME originally published in “Sightlines: A Poet’s Diary” and dedicated to my mother Ruth Evelyn Johnston Thompson (January 4, 1916-May 1, 2006). It’s a story poem that tells how my mother never lost her essence, even when she lost the full use of her mind…how her passion for watching birds just dove deeper into herself.
My pal Hal Manogue and other fine poets are also featured in the poetry corner.
In addition to the poetry corner (Yvonne’s soulful side), you’ll find:

Our goal is to connect the writing and publishing community through networking that benefits both.”
Yvonne is inclusive and skillful in her work. I’ve become a huge fan in the year I’ve known her over the net. Someday soon I hope to trek down to Nashville to meet Yvonne and Hal.
