Sacramento poet DON FELIZ is featured on littlesnake broadside #12, Switchback Path, which is being released today. The littlesnake broadside series is a monthly Snake publication that features one poet at a time in a pamphlet format. Pick one up free here&there. Herewith is a sample:

FATHER AND SON, SWITCHBACK PATH
by Don Feliz

steep as a ski slope
the old trail is
dirty and dangerous

we stretch string lines
carve with
pick and shovel

bear buckets
of gravel
spread it

between
stone borders
down to our mailbox

That's all for today; I'm busy typing Snake 6.
