Poetry
“The Embrace of Dawn” Arrived on My Doorstep This Morning
Thank you Thomas Gaudex for creating this anthology

After weeks of anxiously awaiting the arrival of Thomas Gaudex’s anthology of poetry compiled from his publication, Scribe, I opened my front door and found a little brown box, covered with customs stickers from France, sitting on my porch bench this morning.
I was so honored to have two poems included in this anthology: Whispers of the Wind and I Breathed with the Earth.
I knew that several of my fellow poets had also been asked to be a part of this project, but I did not know exactly who all was involved until I opened the book and was delighted to find pieces by Caroline Mellor, Trisha Traughber, Simran Kankas, Sylvia Wohlfarth, Priyanka Srivastava, Gail Walter, Louise Foerster, Carolyn Riker, John Ross, Samantha Lazar, Connie Song, Sarah E Sturgis, Mark A. Schrader and so many other writers whose words I look forward to reading.
I really want to thank Thomas Gaudex for taking the time and putting forth the tremendous amount of effort that I know that this project took to bring to completion. This was truly a labor of love.
If you are interested in getting your own copy, it is available in both kindle and paperback versions. The publisher is in France, so you’ll have to do a little navigating through a French website, but it’s not that hard to figure out. This is the link for more information: The Embrace of Dawn.
As you can see, I ordered copies for many of my friends and family, and I am so excited to give them as little holiday gifts.
Thank you Thomas Gaudex!
