Back in the day when the National Guard patrolled the campus and town as a result of students protesting US military actions Indochina, I attended a spring semester and summer session at the University of Kansas in Lawrence. There I became acquainted with the writing program’s literary magazine, Cottonwood Review, sometimes just called Cottonwood. If memory serves, Denise Low was the first editor I knew there, and for many years Phil Wedge was editor. Forty-six years after Cottonwood published my first poem with them, poetry editor Stephen Johnson has accepted my sixteenth poem to be published by that journal in eight issues, “Man-Moth’s Forage of Choice.” And the National Guard is once more amassed in the nation’s streets against protesting citizens.
