There is a free lunch!

As you probably know, our family has many writers and a few musicians in it among many other skills. Ron Offen, a poet in our family,  recently wrote to me and reminded me of his excellent poetry site, called Free Lunch. If you have some time, you should definitely check it out. 

His idea for Free Lunch is fascinating. He realized how important poetry was to him throughout his life and how much it had given to him. To return the favor, he decided to launch this literary magazine to publish other poets as well as comment as best he could on all the articles that were submitted. He has nearly 1200 people on his list of subscribers. You can read more about Ron on his site. 

In addition, you can read more about Ron's own poetry. You can see samples of his past work and also see poems from his latest book, Off-Target. One poem that interested me is called "Bad Poet" and you can read it here. He has also been interviewed on the radio. Take a moment to hear his story and to actually hear his voice. You can hear that interview by clicking here.

Take a moment to read some of the poems from contributors in the past issues. They will take your breath away. When my sister, Amy, returns from Australia, I hope she takes some time to read through these poems as she writes poetry from time to time, too. One poem from a past issue that I like in particular is here.

Any other writers out there? Anyone have any comments to share about Ron's site? If so, post them below!
