Two poems accepted online

I am excited to announce that two of my poems, "Mother" and "Leaves on the Tree", have been accepted to the online gallery for THE NATURE OF OUR TIMES: Poems on America's Lands, Waters, Wildlife, and Other Natural Wonders project! Note that "Leaves on the Tree" was first published in ionosphere Vol. I Issue 2 by Amplicon Press Ltd. (July 2024). 

They can be read in the project's online gallery here: https://natureofourtimes.poetsforscience.org/tag/catherine-puma/.

They are currently being considered for publication in the Fall 2025 anthology by Paloma Press, a companion to the First National Nature Assessment (NNA1) draft report being released at the same time. Decisions on which of the poems accepted into the online gallery will be included in the Fall 2025 Anthology should be made at or around the end of February 2025.
