Koss Poetry & Art

I’m blown away to have received five 2024 Best of the Net Nominations from five literary journals this year. I haven’t published much written work, so I was extra pleased that MoonPark Review, a gem of a journal, nominated my “The Short Lives of Wombats” piece for the prose poems category. And Petrichor nominated an […]

Grateful to have erasure work in (Re) An Ideas Journal. Thank you H.E. Fisher and Felice Neal for including me. Pleased to share space with James Diaz, M.A. Scott, Twila Newey, and everyone else! Check out my other posts and pages for more Wuthering Heights visual poems. They are inspired by someone I love and lost but explore a […]

I’ve been doing a series of artworks based on Emily Brontë’s novel, Wuthering Heights. Some of them have a feminist bend, some are about someone I lost (who loved this book). Most are pretty nightmarish. Whether you call them collages, blackout poems, or visual meditations, it does my soul good to do them. This one […]

Fonts come loaded in our software and ready to flaunt their beauty and authority as our fingers fly over our keyboards. We take this magic for granted, and we might feel like font masters as they are so part of our daily existence, but knowing how to use Word doesn’t make us fabulous designers, just […]

The best things in life are free—but websites are not among these things! Free web hosting may seem like a great deal, especially if you’re a student or on a budget, but there are many good reasons not to go that route. What might save you in dollars initially can cost you in the long […]

Here is a slow-moving video of my zuihitsuish, lazy abecedarian poem, “Through the Body’s Bramble.” This poem was published in Feral and was the final poem in the manuscript, tiny corpus, a recent runner-up finalist in Harbor Editions ’23 chapbook contest. The poem, IMHO is one of the most important in my grief work. Note […]

Koss 2023 great big publication update—plus when Kali comes to straighten you out—replete with angry gods & convenient skip-to links for busy people While I’ve been super-blessed with numerous publications recently (thank you, kindly, editors), the strangeness of this year has given me pause on all fronts including curbing my submissions and creative production. Of […]

Honored to be included in this cool anthology along with lots of edgy writers. Bonemilk II is the second anthology from Gutslut Press, edited by Aimee J. Sanghvi and P.D. Hogan. I have a poem, “You, Drawing” in this issue, along with a longer, experimental grief piece, “Dreaming in Tongues” and a caged angel photo. […]

Honored to have two poems published in Bending Genres Issue 30. I’m also happy to be in the company of so many great writers including: Kim Magowan, Quinn Rennerfeldt, Hannah Greico, and many others. I’m behind in my posting and Issue 31 is live, so be sure to check that out too.

Very happy to have some asemic writing published in diode poetry this past December. This is the second batch of visual poems Patty Paine published (see previous issue too). For more information about asemic writing, check out this book review in Art News.

Honored to have some visual poetry in Harpy Hybrid Review (three pieces included). This is my second publication with them, so I’m thrilled to be invited back. They include questions for the artists to complete describing their process, so I did my best to shed some light. This is a great issue with lots of […]
