Another poem about canning . . . .

The Honey Land Review is an on-line journal named after a nine-mile wide strip of rural land that stretches the length of the Iowa/Missouri border. In early- to mid-1800s, the strip was the subject of a border dispute. According to the review's website, militia from both states squared off over the territory, a Missouri sheriff was jailed, and three trees containing bee hives were ransacked. True to its name, the review says it "embraces work that pushes the boundaries." I'm very pleased to have a poem, "Canning Apple Sauce," accepted for the upcoming issue. The poem is one of several about preserving food. "Canning Peaches" appeared in the Winter 2011 issue of Clapboard House, and "A Bushel of Macs" is in my Pudding House chapbook, Harry Truman All the Way.
