Last week, I officially became a RockPaperPoem board member! I might be more surprised by this than anyone since I’ve been in a season of needing to say no to many things, but this feels like a worthwhile way to support fellow editors and writers, so I’m glad I could say yes. This journal is about 4 years old, has a friendly vibe, and has published many poets I admire. I’m so sorry that I’m filling a vacancy due to the sudden passing of co-founder Vincent O’Connor, but I’m very honored that they’ve invited me to be part of their board.
