I’m super psyched for this new publication that is an online mag AND a literal vending machine that dispenses awesome zines made by real artists. If you’re in the Indianapolis area, you can visit one of the actual zine machines at Tomorrow Bookstore. (I really wish I lived closer 😭)

It’s my birthday week! It’s also the last week of National Poetry Month. To celebrate, for each signed copy of my book ordered through my website (link in bio) between April 22 & May 1, I’ll also include a new little poem handwritten on the back of a pretty postcard. ✨

Great question! I think this is mine, made into a broadside by @lindsaylusby.bsky.social
Nell’s Ode
	She is spherical, like a globe.  
	I could find out countries in her.  — Comedy of Errors 
								
All that is great in me might be made little 
by a word. But I will spin you a tale
that brings you in again, for every orb
is an icon and every kitchen 
an abattoir birthing appetites. You
name, but in the kitchen Fire
is the force worth knowing. I am swart 
as the earth’s crust, soot as the banked embers, 
hot as a devil’s dam inside
just like this mantled world, and I   
will swallow you in me so that 
the map lines of your life are lost. By me
you are a stranger made a woman’s man
uncertain to himself within the wheel 
until you turn (but just as I turn) 
toward you and away.  As if you ever 
could stop burying in me 
desires that I raise in you.

Give @lindsaylusby.bsky.social, poet/editor/writing coach/designer, a follow, & while you're at it, check out @periluneedits.bsky.social. Here's the beautiful work Lindsay did with my poem: ashlandpoetrypress.com/catalog/broa... #writingCommunity
broadside showing a kitchen knife facing inward on the right side of the poem, on blue watercolor background. The poem in white lettering:
To her fury

Martha Martha
(Luke 10: 38-42, abbr.)

In the blue shadow of her kitchen
Martha hears:
drop everything listen
you're anxious, Martha
worry too much, Martha, do
too much  your doing
is not learning and does not
matter in the big picture. Martha
it doesn't leave anything
behind, Martha    Martha,
you keep choosing
wrongly

you're missing
the good news

Martha in the kitchen chops
her onions finely     adds
salt & pepper to her fury
blue her shadow
across the table   she cuts
green crispness to ribbons    gages
the cadence of her slicing

the lordly drone next door

Martha in the blue shadow
to her fury says
yes and
yes      still

prepares 
the dressing

It’s been an especially hard month for me (on top of an especially hard few years), so I’m a bit behind in posting about this glint of good news. @coffinbell.bsky.social published 2 of my poems in their newest issue, released on Halloween.

It’s been a year of upheaval, growth, and new beginnings. Growth is uncomfortable so much of the time. Healing hurts. But I’m still here, still growing.

You might not really know where to start when it comes to describing your artistic journey for an outside audience. And that makes narrowing it all down to 100 words even harder. But Perilune is here to help!

Broadside: kitchen knife alongside the poem, facing downward: clouded, blue background. 
The poem has two sides, in tension with each other.

To her fury:

In the blue shadow of her kitchen

And here some of the in between. #writingCommunity #poetry at AWP 2024, Kansas City, MO The beautiful broadsides were designed by @lindsaylusby.bsky.social for the inaugural Ashland Poetry Press Broadside Contest. More soon. Stay tuned.
The huge convention center in background with gabled side, four chimney like columns behind it and square building on the left. All very triangular and lots of straight lines. Wide walkway.the three broadsides (one of them mine) exhibited, framed and loose on a table at the Ashland Poetry Press booth, at the bookfair.Me (white woman, grayish blond hair in a loose bun, glasses, reddish sweater cardigan, standing against dark background) reading one of the broadsides at an off-site event (The Bird Comedy Theater)Protest against and tribute to the children murdered by the IDF in Gaza, held at the bookfair. Big group of people standing in a windowless hall with cement walls, some holding up an open hand. The children's names were read in order of age, starting at zero and ending in five (hence the open hand). And that is just a fraction of the children killed (so far!!!!).
