I rarely submit to writing contests, so it’s especially lovely news to learn that my poems were a finalist for Puerto del Sol‘s 2025 annual poetry contest. Huge thank you to everyone involved…and congratulations to the winner!
I am floored, jazzed, honored and breathless to announce that my poem “So That’s What an Invisible Barrier Looks Like” has been selected by judge Beth Ann Fennelly to win this year’s Poetry Competition at Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art . It will appear in issue 53.
Thanks so much to the readers, to Carlie Hoffman (Poetry Editor) and to Beth Ann Fennelly!
