The debut issue of Relief Journal is now out. My daughter Claire, and I both have poems in the first issue, but that’s not the only reason I like the journal. It’s taken on a big task. To quote from their website, “Relief seeks to bridge the gap between mainstream fiction and cotton-candy Christianity,” and the first issue certainly does that with a mix of intelligent thought provoking work. This is a journal worth watching and yes, even subscrbning to. www.reliefjournal.com

You can read my poem, “Hollows”, from Relief on the poetry link.
