My Poetry Published Before the Year 2000

 Although I had been writing poems since I was twelve, I began submitting my poems to journals, and was publishing poetry from 1988 on. It was before the Internet took off. Recently, I discovered a list of poems that had been published during that time, and had forgotten about them. However, when I searched for those journals online, several of them had gone out of business or were not found online.

My poetry published before or by 2000 in journals:

1. "My Iota." American Poetry Anthology,  The American Poetry Association, vol. VII, no. 5, 1988, pg. 162.

2. "Swordplay." Feelings, Fall 1994, pg. 31.

3. "Dancing Glasses." Parnassus Literary Journal, May 1994.

4. "Your Essence." Dream International Quarterly, Winter 1996-1997, pg. 48.

5. "Tyche's Fortune." The Promise of Dawn. The National Library of Poetry, 1998. pg. 60.

6. "Out of Reach." Poeticvoices.com, February 2000.
