What a delight to have my poem “It’s Something People in Love Do” appear in A Constellation of Kisses, the new anthology from Terrapin Books. Thank you so much to editor Diane Lockward. 100 poems about kissing, written by the likes of Kim Addonizio, Denise Duhamel, Jeffrey Harrison, Allison Joseph, David Kirby, Dorianne Laux…just to name just a very few. Yes please!
What a joy to share the reading stage here at week 1 of the Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing with Samantha Ocena, reading her poetry, and Randi Ocena, reading her poetry and fiction!

Holy moly!!! My second poetry book manuscript has WON the 2019 Elixir Press Antivenom Poetry Award. Thank you judge Ariana-Sophia Kartsonis! Thank you Dana Curtis! And thank you to everyone who has been supportive and encouraging on my journey to get my second poetry book published–I am truly grateful. It’s so incredibly, heart-thumpingly delightful that “If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun” has found a home at Elixir Press!!!
