Why is this piece your Trace Fossil?

"I find purpose in preserving farms, rurality, natural spaces and wildlife through photography and poetry. If any of my poems or photos outlive me, it will be they who are potentially important, not me, not my name, and not my bones a million years from now. If any of my art fossils teach one person about the importance of nature and farms, that is success. “So much depends,” says William Carlos Williams, not just on red wheelbarrows but awareness."

DL Pravda tries to keep it together either by jamming distorted reverb juice in his ears or by driving to the country and disappearing into the woodsfarm dimension. Recent poetry appears in Blue Collar Review, Bookends Review, Poetry Quarterly, Rockvale Review and South 85, recent photography in Santa Clara Review, Streetlight Magazine and Ponder Savant. Pravda teaches at Norfolk State University.
