The PiPS (Poetry in Plain Sight — https://www.ncpoetrysociety.org/pips/) program is a wonderful program through which 4 poems are selected each month to be printed on large posters and displayed in shop windows in a dozen or so cities across NC. I’ve had 4 poems selected since the program’s inception, and this month my poem “All There Is to Say” is one of the featured poems. In Hickory, it’s on display, appropriately enough, in the front window of Taste Full Beans Coffeehouse (https://www.tastefullbeans.com/). Other selected poems this month are Lisa Zerkle’s “Motherhood,” Nancy Martin-Young’s “In Praise of Meadows,” and Jessica Cory’s “Ode to the Pill Bug.” They will be displayed at the Hickory Wine Shop, Patrick Beaver Library, and Hickory Community Theater. Below is a photo of the “All There Is to Say” poster at TFB. The poem is also available in my book from last year, “An Augury of Birds,” available at the coffee shop or through Redhawk Publications (https://redhawkpublications.com/An-Augury-of-Birds-p676049001).
