TIMOTHY PILGRIM, HIGH ON ADVENTURE'S POET LAUREATE
Widely published for over 50 years, his poems "...gain enough grace to repaint souls, eat bitter hearts, force-feed geese…explode mosquitos, count ravens, zigzag mow, herd flies, do gravestone math, vacuum cats…fence in darkness, recite night sky, dream all the blackness back to light.” Or not. |

by Jenna Van Valen via GoFundMe

CRUISE COVID PRECAUTIONS
by Yvette Cardozo
In more normal times, boarding a large cruise ship with 3,500 strangers is not exactly high adventure. But in these weird days with the history of Covid-19 infections on cruise ships, yes, it definitely can be just that. |
