Spectral Realms No. 15

Spectral Realms No. 15 by Hippocampus Press contains my poem, Moonlit Waters.  I sent this submission in a while ago and never heard back.  I saw the ToC and was sad that I was going to miss my very first SR.  I queried about it and it turns out it was accidentally overlooked.  So I made it in just in time.  I'd also like to point out that this issue contains a lovely review of my second poetry collection, The Withering.
