Between the beaching and the gardening and the two-young kids-ing, I've barely had enough to write...but fortunately, I've had just enough time to crank out two more PB manuscripts, one of which I'm currently revising. That said, I have no post today, but I am sharing my most recent post, my interview with Rebecca Kai Dotlich. Hope you're enjoying your summer as much as your poem makes it seem!<br />Matt Forrest Esenwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04230063389130167424noreply@blogger.com
