Several months ago, I was arrested by a photo of a young Syrian boy lying helplessly on a makeshift hospital cot. The image was one of many sobering pictures that continue to be produced from the Syrian conflict. After seeing this photo, I was prompted to write a poem titled “Bildungsroman” which means “coming of age”.
A few weeks ago, I submitted it to Neon Ink, an online literary magazine and was ecstatic to hear that it was accepted! Follow the link to read it:

Thanks for hanging with me these last few months as I work on projects. Great news is on the horizon very soon. Stay tuned!
