My Poem is Published by Silver Birch Press

Silver Birch Press sent out a Call for Submissions for their Celebrity Free Verse Poetry Series.  The guidelines specified that they wanted, “Found poems based on lines from celebrity interviews.”  They asked poets to create a poem about a celebrity we admired and Derek Jeter came to mind.  Read my poem, Derek Jeter’s Regrets at the Silver Birch Press website.  I “found” the inspiration from a Vanity Fair piece.
