A look back at my poem “Moth, Moon & Hex” published in the Spring 2024 issue of Contemporary Verse 2

For my first Halloween in Iowa City of Lit, I went literary by channeling the undead protagonist of @annedemarcken’s beautiful novel.

Thankful for Dorothy, a publishing project and my early Christmas gifts from my aunt and uncle! #happythanksgiving
