When I get stressed I submit poems and then I stress about why I did that. About 60 poems, three manuscripts and a dozen and a half journals I’m waiting to hear back on.

I don’t even know what to share anymore. Just be kind to each other or something. That seems so hard to do these days.

I no longer believe art can save the world, but I believe still that it can save me. So in the face of chaos, misinformation, hatred & ignorance, I'm going to make more art, experience more, share more, pay for more & publish more. I started this in darkness & it'll continue to be my light. 🖤🤍

New poem out today in Subliminal Surgery. I first wrote it when I was 9 years old. I recently came across a handful of poems I wrote at that age and decided to approach them as an erasure poem project. Included is the original version as well. subliminal.surgery/vernalization/

a poem I just had published is 7 years old & was rejected by 20 other journals. I've had poems rejected 50-100 times & finally published after 20 years. Rejections just mean your work has found its true home yet.

Life is no competition, but I believe in celebrating your wins. It wasn’t an easy year. There were plenty of lows. I was laid off. I’ve had my share of health issues, more than I’m used to. Robin as well. But we also adopted our wonderful pup Pru.

It took almost two years, but I finally pushed through sorting poems out about Lulu. Hard to believe it’s been almost two years since she passed. I love always had the intention of writing a book about her. Now I sit here staring at sixty some odd poems.

Six poems in three days. This is an interesting flip. But it be fair yesterday was a bad day mentally for me and I wrote four to try and get myself out of the funk. It didn’t work. Holidays always end up depressing me somehow.

I may finally dip my toes into erasure poetry, with maybe the worst approach I’ve ever had. But sometimes that’s where one gets surprised.
