Janisse, This is Anne Green in Savannah. I last saw you at The Learning Center in September 2021. Before that it was at the Looking Glass Rock Writers' Conference in Brevard. I would like an invitation to submit to the long leaf pine collection. awwestbrook@bellsouth.net

Thanks for sharing, Frances Lee Turner. Believe one of my kids had a picture puzzle of this painting years ago. Curious to know if she received proper credit for her work of art. When you edited my poem, a 'day and night in the okefenokee,' you encouraged me to get serious with my writing and that pretty well sums up my work as a writer of both fiction and poetry. Getting serious with the many distractions vying for my attention requires a lot of discipline and self-control. Most times I don't have it. I think a lot of people believe sharing likes on Facebook is and antidote to loneliness. I do appreciate the encouragement and intend to bear down on the process. marshall

Good Sunday morning,

Women involved in every aspect of the arts have always had a far more difficult time developing their careers than have men. The business of the arts has always separated the male as “artist,” and the female as “hobbyist.” This is why female artists such as FLT are still being “found,” and “discovered.” I read that artists do not have to fear piracy as much as they do obscurity. This sad situation is multiplied exponentially for women trying to make a living in the arts. But stating this is preaching to the chorus!

Thank you for sharing FLT with us.

And - I’d love an invitation to submit a poem for consideration in your longleaf forest collection.

Lovely! Thanks for the longleaf recipe although I’ll have to try it with rosemary. Not a lot of longleaf pines in Northern California. Your writing about Georgia reminds me of our time living in St Marys. It was a beautiful complicated place!

I love how you can interweave one story and link it to another much further down. And I appreciate so much these stories of unsung heroes of the south that have gotten lost in the shuffle of history. I’ve been trying to dig into so many different people here in Texas that too many are unaware of their significance to the state.
