I wrote a poem in tribute to the closing of a downtown Des Moines gathering place that closed its doors earlier this year. It appears in the local CITYVIEW online and print October issues.
I’m so pleased they’ve chosen to run it. I am grateful!
My poem, Ode to the Ritual Cafe, Downtown Des Moines, appears on page 15. Thank you for looking!

SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT PLACE…TOO BAD. ENJOYED YOUR POEM.
Thank you, Judy! It was a cool place to chill, hang out, relax. I was sorry to hear it had closed.
