A big thank you to all the great coffee mugs in my life. The
ones that helped me to imagine all those stories and poems, that kept me reasonably
sane during editing, rejections, and unexpected success. The ones that stayed warm and
delicious in the earliest of mornings and the latest of nights, that supported
me through private fits of anger, depression, and jubilation.
Mugs, without you I'd still be staring at a blank screen
with cobwebs over my brain. You complete me.
So here's to you, coffee-and-sometimes-tea-and-occasionally-whisky
mugs. I raise you to you and take a sip. May your rims never chip.
Love,
Jay

Bird poem mentioned on nature blog
Stephen Lyn Bales, author, speaker, and Senior Naturalist at
Ijams Nature Center in Knoxville, was kind enough to post a recording of my bird poem "Dawn
Chorus" on his website, Nature Calling. The blog is a great resource for all
things nature, especially the plants and animals of East Tennessee.
