Subscription includes a number of benefits, among which are the right to submit fiction, poetry, and essays [acceptance is not guaranteed] and access to one of the most beautiful and intriguing publications in the United States. Nearly two decades ago, Sensations published my story, "Asking the Sky." I could not believe how good it looked. There was my name, 'writ large.' Later thrills included
having my long poems about Coney Island performed across the country, and being invited to read at the Centennial Celebration at the Secaucus [NJ] Public Library. Award-winner Sara Claytor, also of North Carolina, also read [talk about a tough act to follow].. Sara and I discovered we lived within ten miles of each other, and a wonderful friendship was born. . .all thanks to David Messineo and Sensations Magazine. David Messineo and his partner, Kleber de Freitas, saw we received the royal treatment while we were in the Garden State. Ahhhhh, memories. I am grateful beyond words for all that I have learned and all that I have received since I had the pleasure of seeing "Asking the Sky" debut in a gorgeous magazine. The acceptance helped me over many a bump. . .some the size of boulders!
Peace on Earth. . .Always, and Then, 'Pea'<3
