Thank you, Michelle Ayon Navajas, for hosting me on MICHNAVS on Day 5 of the blog book tour promoting the new anthology Poetry Treasures 5: Small Pleasures (WordCrafter, 2025).

Visit the blog and comment to be eligible to win a free copy of the anthology! Also, this post has more information about the book tour, which has been featuring contributors all week.

Mich’s post features my poem called ‘Sitting with Giants’, my reading of the poem (a YouTube video), and a photo of the “giants”, two plants I’ve allowed to grow so large that they take up the dining room! The plants were each gifted to me when my parents died. In my poem, I see them as my elderly parents, whom I helped a great deal.

I have three other poems in This gorgeous anthology. An example is in one of my Wordy Blurbs endorsing the anthology.
