Life is good.
Here are a few of my recent and/or forthcoming publications.

A poem I had accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review a few months back was just recently posted on their website as the featured poem of the day. The poem, which is called "Emphysema," was accompanied by my own commentary and a note from the editor. You can read that poem here:

The newest edition of Poetry Quarterly was just released a couple weeks ago. This issue features a poem I wrote called "Enamel."

I have a poem called "Neoplasm" forthcoming in the Summer 2015 edition of Slipstream Press. This edition is themed and all of the writing in the issue will surround the concept of "elements."

I also got to visit my poem at the Toledo Museum of Art. Earlier this year, I entered a poem I wrote into the TMA Ekphrastic Writing Poetry Contest. Since my poem was a finalist, it's posted in the museum next to the painting I wrote it about:
My poem at the museum (with my named spelled wrong). |
Mark Rothko's Untitled, the painting that inspired my poem. |
This summer has been amazing so far. I got to spend a week in Nashville, focus on my writing and my artwork, get ready for school, spend lots of time with family and friends, explore Ann Arbor, go paddleboarding, etc. The list goes on.
I spent a day last week in Ann Arbor and Blissfield, MI, with my friend, Bobbie. It was a beautiful day! |
Hubby and I went paddleboarding last weekend. We had a blast! |
After some research, we discovered that this one is a 1933 Royal typewriter. After some cleaning and maintenance, my husband and I got it working again! |
This one is probably from the 1940s or 50s and still works! |
