If you are poet, prophet, peace loving artist, tolerant, traditional or anarchistic, haiku or epic, and points in between; if your poems sing, shout, whisper, dance, scratch, tickle, trot or crawl; if you value the humane treatment of every creature and the planet on which we dwell, SoFloPoJo seeks your work.
This Issue is dedicated to the Memory of Raymond P. Neubert,
Friend, Painter, Photographer, Poet
whose work appeared in SoFloPoJo Visual Arts February 2017
