Poet. Writer. Earthling.
October 2024
Saying goodbye to summer is always hard, though the sadness is fleeting since fall in New England is great. Apple picking and farm visits have (mostly) replaced beach days for us, though I was able to swim in the ocean through September.
I got back into my writing routine recently and was delighted to be a featured reader at Open Doors Yoga studio last month. October promises more treasured reading and writing time at an Assets for Artists residency at MASS MoCA. My family also has lots of October birthdays to celebrate, along with Halloween (a favorite holiday for the little ones), so I expect this month to be another full one.
As for recent publications, Solstice Literary Magazine chose my Munch-inspired poem, "Pro Deo et Patria" as an Editor's Choice for their awards issue. The lovely South 85 Journal published my interview with poet, Merrill Oliver Douglas, whose debut collection “Persephone Heads for the Gate,” (Silverfish Review Press), won the 2022 Gerald Cable Book Award. And last but not least, my poem, "Waking Uncle Edward," received an Honorable Mention in the New England Poetry Club's 2024 E.E. Cummings Contest.
