We started the Silver Birch Press blog on June 24, 2012, and experimented for a few years while finding our niche. Today — May 8, 2017 — we hit one million views. Most of our growth has taken place in the past couple of years — since we initiated our Poetry & Prose Series, starting with our Self-Portrait Poetry Series in July 2014. Thank you to our community of contributors, readers, and nearly 10,000 followers for making the Silver Birch Press blog part of your daily routine. We are honored and grateful for your interest and participation in this labor of love. Poem by poem and story by story, we are making the world a better, more welcoming place. Cheers!

I couldn’t agree more! Silver Birch means so much to so many of us.

Lee said it best: inclusiveness. It’s who we are in a time of great lies and divisiveness.
I look forward to a million more views.
