The Cold
Excerpt from Addleberg Lang: I wrote this poem mostly during a church service, because that’s the type of attention span I have. Anyone who’s been in Montana during the winter will immediately understand why I wrote this.

Staying Healthy As a Writer; A Gift to Yourself
We've been sold this idea that writer's are these pale, hunched over, gremlins eating whatever food is within reach. We laugh at this, joke about how true it is, and keep destroying ourselves. But is bad posture and unhealthy diets really something to joke about? I have scoliosis, and was in physical therapy for several … Continue reading Staying Healthy As a Writer; A Gift to Yourself
