I think those places are / more holy now / with a view straight up / and into heaven.” L. Ward Abel was born in 1959 in Atlanta. He is a poet, composer, and performer of music with Abel, Rawls & Hayes, teacher, and retired lawyer. He lives in rural Georgia. Mr. Abel’s work appears in many online and print publications.
