Last week I recieved my first #award for #poetry. This year's Bazzanella #Literary Awards judge chose my #poem, "a moment," saying "...the #poet's images are like brush strokes..." I feel #honored and glad that my #studies @sacstate have honed my abilities so much. . . . #writers #sacramento #literature
