To celebrate National Poetry Month, Indiana Humanities is featuring a work by an Indiana poet each day in April. I am pleased to note that one of my new poems, <a href="http://www.indianahumanities.org/think-read-talk/river-in-winter/">"River in Winter,"</a> has been selected for inclusion and has been released today, April 23.
