  1. Hello Karen. Once again, we are coming upon another winter season. One can only hope this year will not be as bad as last year. Yet, regardless of the cold, it is good to know that I can come to Whispers to feel the warmth and tenderness of some good poetry and enjoy the fellowship of some good poets. Thank you for all you do for the writing community and for my ministry and publication.
