Grateful to have this vulnerable elegy in the beautiful new issue of Ploughshares

Friends! I’m so excited to share that I recently joined the Editorial Critique Team at Iron Oak Editions (Iron Oak Editions)! This is such a big-hearted & word-loving group & I’m so happy to be on board! If you’re in need of feedback on your manuscript, I’d love to work w/ you! ⬇️

I love National Park Service ❤️🤗☺️

Please lift your snowy skies
off my soul -

Your diamond dreams
slice through my veins.
-Else Lasker-Schüler

When the path ignites the soul,
there's no remaining...

The foot touches ground,
but not for long.

“Dear old world,” she murmured,
“you are very lovely, and
I am glad to be alive in you.”

~ L.M. Montgomery

'Books, books, books.
It was not that I read so much.
I read and re-read the same ones. But all of them were necessary to me. Their presence, their smell, the letters of their titles and the texture of their leather bindings.'

Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette

...and here's the video.
It has some history, some mystery, and a little bit of spooky stuff thrown in 👻

And oh, it's a bit silly, too 🤪
