Publication – New Poem!
The fifth and final poem I sold to Quatrain.Fish is out! You can read it here. I wrote this poem as an expression of my frustration with continued intolerance and racial inequality in the US. Black lives matter. Love is love. I know there are many, many lists of charities out there working to advance … Continue reading Publication – New Poem!
Publication – Another new poem!
The fourth poem I sold to Quatrain.Fish came out today! This one started out as a much longer piece (closer to 30 lines, instead of the final 4 line version). During my review/editing process for it, I realized these lines (originally the last stanza) packed more of a punch on their own, so I decided … Continue reading Publication – Another new poem!

Poetry Collection
In my last post, I mentioned my growing poetry collection. Before the pandemic set in, I was regularly going to the bookstore, browsing the poetry section, and buying a bunch of poetry books at once. I picked books based on whether the poems I read while I was standing in the store struck a chord … Continue reading Poetry Collection
