Dear Smoky Quartz editors,
Thank you so much for sending the Spring 2025 issue of Smoky Quartz that includes my poem. It was so exciting to see the journal in print and looking so very wonderful…the poetry, prose, art and the entire format. I will forward it to many others so they can get acquainted with the journal if they haven’t already. Again, thank you for publishing my work again. I am truly very honored.
Warm regards,
Carol Amato
Thank you, Carol!
