Getting closer to…If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun!

I’m giddy-thrilled to have just sent in my comments on the latest round of proofs for my second book of poetry, If We Had a Lemon We’d Throw It and Call That the Sun, winner of the 2019 Antivenom Poetry Award from Elixir Press. It’s really starting to feel real. I can almost touch it!

Thank you Blurbers!!!

Thank you Ross Gay! Thank you Lee Upton! Thank you Diane Seuss! Thank you Dean Young! When poets — some I’ve never even met — whose work I’ve loved so much take time out to write a blurb for my second book, out of the generosity of their hearts… Wow. That’s something I’m so dang thankful for in these uncertain, anxiety-swamped days. Thank you Ross Gay! Thank you Lee Upton! Thank you Diane Seuss! Thank you Dean Young! Thank you!
