I recently started a new experimental journal: The Scarred Tree: Poetry and Moral Injury. It is part of a capstone project I did on the way to earning my certification in the study of Moral Injury. I'm randomly posting poems there submitted to the project. Visit us and see what you think. Sample poem to the right.

Back in the day I’d pull double shifts at the County Hospital, then race home to my waiting lover,
shower, dress, dance all night in that smokey little dive off Sunset Boulevard—limp home, nap,
shower, dress, repeat. . .
my last day
in the Emergency Room
tooth marks
on an infant’s thigh
wide as her father’s grin
A note on social media: I've relied quite a bit on our Ambidextrous Bloodhound Facebook group. I'm in the process of moving away from it for reasons I’m confident I don’t need to mention. It’s frustrating because the Facebook platform works well. The current plan is to rely on our mailing list, which you’re already on, our new Bluesky account, and a Substack feed. Here’s how to sign up:
Bluesky: Create an account https://bsky.app/ if you don’t have one, search for ambidextrouslit.bsky.social, and follow.
Substack: https://ambidextrousbloodhound.substack.com
Then subscribe.
Thanks for your support!
