John Stevenson
winter mountains
in the conversation
as a listener
John Stevenson was traveling by train between his home near Albany, NY and San Francisco. A lone traveler on a cross-country train meets new people at every meal and there is a tendency to tell stories that illustrate how big and important we all are. But, in the mountains, the conversation often turns to mountains.

between a thought
and this darkening sky
sometimes a deer
Devin Harrison lives on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. He spends time following trails through parts of the rain forest.

Today excited birds
skipped and chirped
in the rain
to my ecstatic
chatter
Alice Pero blends easily into the landscape where she lives in Sunland-Tujunga, between the desert wash and her bird-filled backyard. She is dedicated to making it rain.
