To the best of my recollection (less and less reliable daily) I believe C. Dale Young and I have only met in person twice over the years, and one of those times was in a hallway in passing, but I like to think of him as a friend. Yesterday his poem “The Vista” was featured at the Academy of American Poets website.
Favorite line:
This is what someone with wings/does when he knows he cannot fly: he measures/distance.
