Zoom Saloon

I will be the featured reader at the ZOOM SALOON hosted by Anna Marie Sewell on February 10, at 1 PM MDT (3 PM Eastern). I’m excited about this. Last year, on February 10 (!!!), I lost my voice. For months I could barely speak. But it’s back now!

No need to RSVP. I’ll post the link later in the week (or email me, and I’ll get it to you). I’ve been following Anna Marie Sewell for many years, and I love and admire her work and dedication to the arts. If you’re not familiar with her writing, you must visit Prairiepomes.

Shakuhachi and books

I am thrilled that Midwest Zen has published six of my shakuhachi poems, which were written in November 2017, during a self-imposed poem-a-day jag.  I am grateful to editor Mark Howell for taking these poems. I still can’t play that damned flute!

Exclamation

I am thrilled that Only Poems has published six of my self-portrait poems, with an interview.  Editors Karan Kapoor and Shannan Mann have, against all odds, curated this beautiful, top notch weekly publication, featuring well known poets as well as those who live in obscurity (me). I am in awe of their dedication, and am very grateful that they saw fit to feature my poems.

Stone CIrcle Review Pushcart Noms

My poem “Trigger Alert,” which was published earlier this month by Stone Circle Review, has been nominated  for a Pushcart Prize. I am grateful to editor Lee Potts for the nomination, and for taking this piece, which is one of a series of hendecasyllabic (eleven lines consisting of eleven syllables) poems written since early September. My illness has been rough at times, but at least a few poems have emerged from it.

bird in window

A handful of my poems have been published since January, and in the grip of my illness I did not properly acknowledge the publications. I hope to make up for this, at least in part, by providing, at this late date, links to the poems in these journals.

“The Hollow,” was published at The Passionfruit Review in July. I am grateful to the editors for taking this piece, and to Stephanie L. Harper, who continues to inspire me every day.

My poems “IWhile You Slept,” and “Surrounded by Myself I Remain” were published at Resurrection Magazine this past Spring.  I am grateful to editors Ingrid M. Calderon-Collins and John Collins for taking these pieces.
