I am overcome with emotion and joy today at the publication of my dear friend, Sarah Doudna’s poetry and fiction in the current issue of Mojave Heart Review. Sarah’s voice is saturated with a richness of clarity and an aching honesty. She is one of my favorite writers and one of my favorite people.
Read and enjoy her story, The Ship, and her poem, Traveler.
In addition to being a brilliant writer, Sarah is also a ballet dancer and teacher, and you can find her on her blog, On the Way to the Barre.
Sarah, you inspire me to be a better, more courageous person and writer. I am so grateful for you. You are kicking some serious ass, BB!!!! I am so thrilled for you and so proud of you!!!!

Yes! They are all three wonderful and different. The artwork they chose really fits each if them very well.

Genna is a master at matching up the artwork and the images! Have you read Steve’s poems yet? You will love them! I couldn’t read Jonathan’s story yesterday because my eyes were too sore to focus on the small print, but I am going to read it today. I can’t wait! You must submit to Genna as soon as possible, BBP!!!!! Love you!
