My friend
Michael Bixler is an excellent
photographer, artist, writer,
videographer and “adventurer” who took the
photo above of the Pine Barrens, In The Pines.
Like much of his work, this photo captivated me and inspired the poem Pine
Barren. Bixler has provoked me to poetry with
Motel back in October
of 2012,
Ghost Lake also in
October of 2012,
Late
Autumn Epiphany last November, and
Homage back in
December of 2012, I am a huge fan of his work and am grateful he allows me to
use his art as my muse. To see more of Michael Bixler’s work, click
