Philip Kolin, poet and editor of Vineyards, whose work has been featured regularly in the St. Austin Review, has just informed me that issue 3 of Vineyards is now published on-line. The new issue contains many new poems by contemporary Christian poets, including a humble offering of my own, “First Decade”, which was written for my wife to commemorate our tenth wedding anniversary. As the title suggests, the poem, a sonnet, takes the first decade of each of the joyful, sorrowful and glorious mysteries of the rosary, connecting them with the joys, sufferings and glories of married life.

Those interested in sampling some fine examples of contemporary Christian verse should check out this exciting on-line publication: www.vineyardspoetry.net
