Here is my May post, in which it’s my birthday, and I can shout about reading fees if I want to!

One of the poems from my Bible word banking project was published today in The Chaotic Review! I’m a big fan of this new journal that pays and publishes a new piece daily.
“The Book of Men” will be in my forthcoming chapbook from Agape Editions too!
I’m so thrilled to have my poem “Prayer’s End” published in Issue 23 of Drunken Boat! There’s also an audio file included, so you can let me read the poem to you if you want. Thanks, Ravi Shankar!
I’m especially looking forward to reading the Glass House Shelter Project folio in this issue, which features work by writers who are homeless.
My March post is up at Poetry Has Value!

Featuring 3 conferences in a month, big book award news, and my first payment of 2016 for a poem…
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’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!
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. 🙂
I’m pleased that one of my poems is included in Done Darkness, a new anthology from Orange Hat Publishing.
