My Latest Column: Poetry Again (Gasp!)
My latest column for The Record and Herald News features some nifty bird-related poems sent in by readers.
My favorite poem of those submitted was "Sarah Orne Jewett Convinced Me," by Michael Mingo, which references an incredible Jewett short story entitled "The White Heron."
The link to the column is here.
