Fall 2019 Issue

Our future and the future of our children and their children depend on the balance we maintain between ourselves and Nature in our daily lives … each day is a constant stream of miracles. We need to learn to respect every moment of our lives on Mother Earth. ~ Ann Day

Welcome to the fall 2019 issue of Smoky Quartz. We are proud to feature Ann Day as she celebrates her 90th birthday this year. Ann is a prolific contributor to Smoky Quartz and an inspiring member of the Monadnock Writers’ Group. Our celebration begins with an interview of Ann by Eric Poor. Her poetry leads the way in this issue’s collection of work.

Join us in welcoming the crisp air and warm colors of late fall with a richly textured variety of poetry, prose, and images reflecting the season. Many thanks to the talented writers and artists who have shared their work.
