ALT TEXT: Vine-covered arch as backdrop to 2 cozy wicker chairs with white cushions. - TEXT: Almost Paradise - The Creative Garden Series - FICTION - Rita Mock-Pike
"Precious curves, swoops,
arches, peaks;
winner of contests, hearts,
ears
Waves shuffle, dance below the line
with gulls and cockatoos
screeching, squawking,
puttering about under
feet..."

"May I see you?
Lift my arms around your neck,
kiss your cheek
and lean into your side?
May I sing a little shanty
of silliest things
into the curve of your ear?"
Tiptoe into the shadows of faith when you still believe but still need to heal from the spiritual abuse inflicted by the church... Poetry from our #seminarian editor-in-chief @ritamockpike

This book kept me entertained and intrigued, from the giggle-inducing first page to the last, the fun twists on romantic tropes to vivid world-building and visceral settings. I loved every twist and turn, every silly, bizarre, and funny coincidence, and the oddity of the family in question.
Come read the splendid poetry from authors around the world in our latest magazine issue. Poetry Special #1 of 2024.

Take the advice for protecting your voice during illness seriously. Use the suggestions as you perform with your instrument as if they were gospel. Welcome the sometimes-gross descriptions of your inner workings so you can better know how to use, protect, and save those vocal cords.
