Masticadores USA–Interview: Perspectives on Being an Optimist

Firstly, a warm thank you to Editor Barbara Harris Leonhard for giving my poem
a splendid nesting place in her magazine on the World Wide Web and exposure
to my words. Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

For those unfamiliar with Masticadores USA*, here’s a #writerslift

  • This collaboration grows my reach.
  •  The English editions of Masticadores are breaking records in views.
  • Barbara shares that numbers are not as important as the gratification of writing
    and editing. However, big news! MasticadoresUSA has accrued 80,000 views and
    over 30,000 visits since it began!
  • In total, the Masticadores magazines (MasticadoresUSA, Chewers & Masticadores,
    Gobblers & Masticadores, and many other Masticadores issues across the planet)
    now have over 300 thousand visits this year and 800 thousand visits since the
    Masticadores enterprise began, according to our Founder and Head Editor, Juan
    Re Crivello. He says when we reach 1 million visits, we will have a party!!

Thanks for the support. I bless you.


For today, it’s an interview, initially suggested by EIF, a dedicated publisher of fiction,
poetry & memoir (thanks so dearly); publisher of many books and conducted by BoldJourney–a splendid online magazine that feels young to me.

It would please me so much if you’d head to Masticadores to read My humble thoughts
on being an optimist. I also hope you find value in reading.

Thanks for reading my friends.
