Oh my goodness! My lyric essay “What You’re Thinking Now Is a Chunk of Marble” has just been accepted at Southeast Review! It’s the second in my series of lyric essays inspired by the 4 fundamental forces of physics–this one being the gravity essay. Now I need to get on the stick and finish the remaining 2 on the strong and weak nuclear reactions… Thank you Dyan Neary and the rest of the CNF staff!
What a delight to learn just now that my poem “The New Avenues the Only Avenues We Have” has been accepted at Witness Magazine. They published a poem of mine back in 2015, and it’s such a thrill to have been accepted there again! Thank you Poetry Editor Lindsay Olson and the rest of the Witness crew!
I’m thrilled to share the news that Salamander has accepted my poem “Let Go Inside Let It Out.” It’s got the moon in it, along with the strong and weak nuclear forces, dogs, snakes, and my mom. This news anytime would be a reason to jump for joy. During this frightening, difficult time…I could positively break into blossom.
Yay! Some welcome good news. My poem “Blood in the Air” has just been accepted by The Greensboro Review. It’s a love poem, and it has chocolate cake and geese in it. Thank you Greensboro Review!

Wow wow wow! My microfiction story “The Horses Are Ready and They Need to Go” has been chosen to be included in Best Microfiction 2020 Anthology!

Hot-diggety! Xmas has come a wee bit early. The Iowa Review just accepted three (!!!) of my poems: “Air Damp As the Back of the Throat,” “We’ve Come All This Way Got Dressed Up,” and “What I’m Left With.” I’m gonna sit down and try to start breathing normally again.
