New poem up today with ZERO READERS - SUBS CLOSED! Thank you, editors! Link in comments.

A poem of mine won a prize. And this poem was the beginning of a new collection. That collection is still just an idea, something that I turn to when all other tasks are done and I'm alone and quiet at night. This prize tells me I should give it more attention now.

Highlighted are some poems accepted in 2024 that are forthcoming from my debut collection 🐟'CATCH & RELEASE'🐟 I am so very proud of the work I did this year!

I am thrilled to receive a Best of the Net nomination from the wonderful The Hopper, for my mixed-media artwork, Cathedral Rocks, which was the cover art of The Hopper’s issue 8.1. My gratitude to the editors 🙏🏾✨
