I'm incredibly honored & grateful that Todd Davis featured my poem, "Communion," on @wpsu's Poetry Moment. radio.wpsu.org/2022-09-19/po… "Communion" was originally published in @RuminateMag and will be in my next collection - River, Amen - due out in April.

Amazing how this tiny poem from The Second O of Sorrow has traveled and been translated into many languages through the years. And it all began with Todd's generous post. teapawt.org/ToddKaneko/status/1033…
I don’t need to read any more think pieces about whether or not poetry matters. How about this short poem from THE SECOND O OF SORROW by Sean Thomas Dougherty.

• Read everyday. • Spend time with nature. • Ask questions. • Never stop learning. • Don't pay attention to what others think of you. • Do what interests you the most. • Study hard. • Teach others what you know. • Make mistakes and learn. • It's Okay to not know things!

A rail trail connecting Cleveland and Pittsburgh? The C2P Corridor is almost all there; @railstotrails and its Industrial Heartland Trails Coalition just need to close a few gaps. A new study gets us up to speed: post-gazette.com/life/recrea…

In the great quiet of sheltering, let us shelter under the glistening sky. Turn out the lights, turn toward nature at 8:30PM tonite. Blessed Earth Day.

It’s the 25th anniversary of John Candy’s passing. We cooked up a small tribute to a comedic genius and Canadian hero. If you haven’t seen much of his work, take a look at his films. He was a treasure. Thanks to @chriscandy4u and @therealjencandy. 🇨🇦
