I’m so honored that Karen Craigo took the time to read, review, and interview me about my new chapbook, A Door with a Voice, which will be published digitally by Agape Editions later this year. You can read this review and interview at Better View of the Moon.
I’m also incredibly thrilled to have Dave Adey‘s “Twin Bliss” as the cover image for this chapbook!
I feel like the world must not be such a terrible place since there is an anthology called The Museum of All Things Awesome and That Go Boom. I’m pleased that my poem “Baba Yaga’s Answer” will be reprinted in it! You can check out the book launch site and buy a print or e-book copy at the link above.
I’m pleased to have two of my Bible-as-word-bank poems in the new issue of a new publication out of London, Anomoly Literary Journal!
If you’re pressed for time, definitely make sure you don’t miss the companion poems by Elizabeth Vignali and Kami Westoff. They are incredible!
I’ve been writing a series of prose poems to/about my Granny, and “28,065 Nights” was the first one of them to be published. The title refers to the number of nights my Granny was alive. These poems are hard to write, but I need them.
This whole Arabian Nights issue of NonBinary Review is really wonderful. I’m so glad it’s available online now! Check out the poems by E Kristin Anderson, M. Brett Gaffney, Sarah Ghoshal, Jen Stein, and more!
I’m now listed on Have Book, Will Travel!
Feel free to invite me to your class, reading series, writing festival, living room… I’ll read poetry anywhere!
Happy Leap Day to me!
I came home to two publications in the mailbox. My poem “Waking on Palm Sunday” is in the new issue of The Cresset.
My poem “Before Breakfast,” which I wrote in response to the photo “Sunflowers” by Debarshi Ray, was published as a broadside by Black Orchid Designs (ELJ Publications).
Thanks, editors!
Good news! I’ve now got copies of The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman! It felt good to run out, but I’m happy to have some again in time for all of my March conferences (WTS in San Diego, PCA/ACA in Seattle, and AWP in LA).
If you don’t have a copy yet, you can get one directly from me: $10 by mail (covers shipping), $7 in person. (It’s also on Amazon, but it’s more fun to buy a signed one from me.)
I can also ship a signed copy to any person of your choice for any reason you’d like (Leap Day? Birthday? Easter? Mother’s Day? Talk Like a Pirate Day?). Check my contact page and send me an email if you’d like one (or even more than one… I’m open to group discounts if you want to buy a bunch!).
NOTE: I also have a handful of copies of I Awake in My Womb if you need to satisfy your desire for strange pregnancy dream poems. 🙂
My January post is up at Poetry Has Value. I’m focusing on sending my poems to paying markets this year… so far I’m down $3, but I’m feeling good.
