A Poem a Week

Posted on January 7, 2024 / 0 Comment

Thoughts on a Sunday Afternoon - Week 1 of 2024

Hi, my name is Brad Severance, and I'm a photographer, poet, artist, Francophile, and avid reader. I live in Indianapolis, Indiana.

You can check out my best photographs on my photography website site at photography.bradseverance.com and my Flickr profile at www.flickr.com/photos/brad-severance

I run a writer's group called Pen to Paper, Indy's most notorious coterie of misfit writers. Checkout our website at www.pentopaperblog.org and our Meetup site at www.meetup.com/Pen-to-Paper.

If you wish to contact me, don't hesitate to shoot me an e-mail at me@bradseverance.com
