FULL PINK MOON REACHES FULLNESS APRIL 6, 2012

Step outside tonight and welcome The Full Pink Moon of April 6, 2012 as she reaches fullness.

The Full Pink Moon got its name long ago from Native Americans who were stuck by the many fields they saw in April covered with small, wild pink flowers. A list of full moon names can be found in the Farmer's Almanac.

Joan Ellen Gage said...: It was lovely, Nancy. Somehow, though, it made me a little sad--a yearning feeling within my heart. I think that is something primitive that dwells within us.

Take care!

Congratulations

Hats Off to Nancy Simpson whose new poem "Our Great Depression" appears in the current issue of Souther Poetry Review (2013) , with a focus on Georgia poets. “Years Later - Still the Old Dream” was published on line at FutureCycle Press #27 and also in print. “First Responder” was published in the print anthology American Society - What Poets See, (FutureCycle Press.) Simpson’s poems “Aftermath” and “Mary Cassatt” were published in the poetry magazine Solo Novo (California.) “Studying Winter” was reprinted in the world-wide anthology Sunrise from Blue Thunder for Japanese relief after the earthquake/tsunami. Her poem “The Collection” was reprinted in the anthology Collecting Life - Poets on Objects Known and Imagined, with an introduction by Bill Brown professor of American Culture at U. of Chicago.

"Pink Pantsuit" will be featured in AMERICAN LIFE IN POETRY, Ted Kooser's nationwide poetry column. (forthcoming spring 2013)

CONGRATULATIONS

Dear Nancy,

What a fine article about you in the Asheville paper! It was such a smooth account of all the dimensions of your talents and contributions. I can imagine having it printed, blown up to poster size, and hung on my wall, adding only one of the really pretty pictures we have of you, too.

I hope this gave you even more pleasure than it has given us to read. There are so many of us that are privately clapping and cheering and saying "Hear, hear."

Keep up the good work because it sustains us all.

Love,

Ellen Andrews

Praise for LIVING ABOVE THE FROST LINE, NEW AND SELECTED POEMS

“NANCY SIMPSON’S POEMS SPEAK WITH A VOICE that knows where it comes from, honoring that place and the web of relationships that exist within it. She can make the world shimmer in a single line. She can break your heart. She can sing. She does what a poet has to do, wake the reader into a fresh vision of reality.” —KATHRYN STRIPLING BYER, North Carolina Poet Laureate Emerita

“HARD-WON, SOMETIMES HARD-BITTEN, the poems of Living Above the Frost Line emerge from the page like daffodils from a snow bank: colorful, hardy and defiant. It is a privilege to be admitted into Nancy Simpson’s intense vision of the world, a pleasure to stand for a while in its light.” —FRED CHAPPELL, North Carolina Poet Laureate Emeritus
