Milton,
gentle warrior,
promoter of causes
political and natural,
our friend.
Poet
whose voice and words
resonate with passion,
whose language exhorts, elevates
conscience.
Preacher
in word and deed,
minister to his flock,
his family, his writer friends.
MUCH MISSED.
Betsy Joseph lives in Dallas and has poems that have appeared in a number of journals and anthologies. She is the author of two poetry books published by Lamar University Literary Press: Only So Many Autumns (2019) and Relatively Speaking (2022), a collaborative collection with her brother, poet Chip Dameron. In addition, she and her husband, photographer Bruce Jordan, have produced two books, Benches and Lighthouses, which pair her haiku with his black and white photography.
