The Spring issue of The Pen Woman (page 19) features Catherine Horn’s article on Linda Hortick’s adventure with a peregrine falcon she and her husband encountered while on an educational voyage aboard the Viking Polaris. The world’s fastest falcon visited their private balcony and inspired Linda’s poem “The Flight of the Peregrine Falcon” which was shared with the captain and passed on to everyone on the ship.
Look for Linda Hortick‘s and Deb Weir‘s take on a recent event in the “Pen Women Postings” (bottom of Expressions Gallery).
