Honored to have a disturbing but important poem in South Florida Poetry Journal’s latest issue (#25). #CW. So grateful to the editors for publishing. Read it along with a bunch of great work and sound files here.
So fortunate to be in another issue of San Pedro River Review. This issue has a theme of Place. Jeff and Tobi, the editors, are kind and efficient. They have two brief submission windows each year, then superfast notices for submitters. Generally, a month or so after an acceptance, the issue is out. I wish all journals were this professional. Here is a bad photo of the poem, which I’ll update at a later date. This has been a busy publication year, and I’m having trouble keeping up. This poem is one of many about grief (for my grandmother) and mortality. Buy the whole issue on Amazon. See my other San Pedro River Review publication, “Opt-Out Mother,” here.
Sometimes less is more. Sometimes I can’t believe in language. But all that really matters is the pencil, the brush, and this moment. Check out some of my other crossword poems and art in my blog. You can also navigate by the categories. Thanks for visiting.
Very happy to have poems in Chiron Review 124. Love this cover art. Chiron is a 40+ year-old lit mag publishing writers like Marge Piercy, Lyn Lifshin and Charles Bukowski. It was created by Michael Hathaway in 1981 and was published in a tabloid format, as many journals were then. I’m so thrilled to be in this cool journal and published alongside people like Lyn Lifshin who inspired me when I was young. Tobi Alfier, J.C. Alfier, and Alexis Rhone Fancher are also in this issue. I thought I was slated for the spring issue, so it was a nice surprise to see this pop up on social yesterday. More updates soon. I’m behind in these announcements.
Be safe. Wear a Mask. I’m not kidding.
