Thanks for posting the information about the anthology from Pecan Grove Press; I'd like to read it.
Palmer accepted a poetry manuscript of mine for publication a while back, but his battle with lung cancer has held up production.I am praying that the cancer treatments work for him --- more for him than for anything else.
