Two of the new poems from the new enlarged edition of
BJ Omanson’s Stark County Poems— “Proverb of the Three Hotels” and “The Boy Who Climbed a Tree” (both about Abraham Lincoln’s 1858 visit to Toulon, in Stark County, Illinois)– appear in the current issue of Illinois Heritage: a Publication of the Illinois State Historical Society.
Both poems can be read on BJ Omanson’s poetry blog, A Bivouac on the Slope of Parnassus.
