My long poem “Bone Above Our Heart” accepted at Poetry Northwest!!

Posted on by

Oh.My.Goodness. Poetry Northwest just accepted my long poem “Bone Above Our Heart” one of the poetic experiments I started 2 summers ago, carrying around a special notebook during my travels, collecting images, bits of overheard dialogue, to build a long poem from (it’s 5 pages, which is long for me). I’m over-the-moon to have this poem appear in Poetry Northwest. It’ll be my third appearance in this awesome journal! Thank you so much Bill Carty, Shriram Sivaramakrishnan, Keetje Kuipers, and everyone at PN!

I couldn’t be there in body but I was there in spirit. I’m excited to share this chapbook when it becomes available for purchase!
