I’m honored and delighted to share the news that my poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” was selected as Runner-Up for the Brittany Noakes Poetry Award whose entree fees benefit the Live Your Dream Award, sponsored by SI of Rittenhouse Square, PA, for a single mother who has experienced hardships, to help her pursue her education. Click HERE to read (and hear me read) my poem (first published in Rattle Issue 50) along with super-kind words by Shevaun Brannigan and contest judge J.C. Todd. Thanks so much to you both!
