3 November 2025: Liegois Media newsletter It's already November? Last month just flew by, but thank goodness we finally have fall weather in Iowa. I remember a year ago still waking up to 80 degree afternoons and wondering if I'd ever feel cool again. However, it feels lovely outside now. This month, I'm going to discuss a big change with my writing focus that happened this past weekend, some thank yous go out to some great hosts of author events over the past month or so, as well as all the normal odds and ends.

Rivers and Words: Poetry Night, 26 Oct. 2025 Welcome to a Sunday night edition of Poetry Night, where I produce some original poetry usually inspired by the territory and lands I live in or my day to day experiences and musings. Tonight will be a mix of both of those ideas. I managed to get out onto the Mississippi River again today, thanks very much to my wife. It was especially lovely in October when you can see the leaves changing and you don’t start sweating five minutes after you step outside like you do in July.
