The Saturday Spark
Tell us: Do you make a daily habit of seeking sustenance from the arts?
Starting in July . . .
This newsletter (Events & News) will switch to a biweekly schedule. I’ll publish it every other Saturday instead of weekly.
The remodeling of The Raft continues during this major time of transition in my life and work. I hope you’ll like the changes. Stay tuned.
My novel’s cover design is finished! (click to enlarge)
The Singing Stick, will be released on September 4 (birthday of son Nathan). I’ve just received the finished cover design for the paperback. More exciting developments to come!
In case you missed it . . .
Here’s the welcome gift you should have received when hopping aboard The Raft, just in case you missed it.

Next week on The Raft . . .
NO Poetry Pick-Me-Up due to the Independence Day holiday. We’ll resume our casual weekly gathering for poetry-sharing, celebration, and discussion on July 11th. Hop on the Zoom at this link. Bring a poem you like to read to the group. Or, just come to listen to poems offered by other Rafters and to participate as you’re comfortable in our informal but wholehearted conversation. Can’t make it? Watch for the video replay in this newsletter!

Absolutely! I am a singer for the way it feels in my body and soul, and I also sing for others and with others. I sing every day. i read poetry every day and most days I write it. I am so grateful for these beautiful things which sustain me and help me awaken.
Of course! Music and poetry always.
