My heart swells with gratitude. This poem published in New Ohio Review was written in response to a childhood memory, one that as an adult was reconfigured into amother kind of experience. Art is truly transformative. newohioreview.org/2025/06/01/s...

Felled, published by @finishinglinepress.bsky.social, is now live www.finishinglinepress.com/product/fell...! All the images were made while hiking with a fascination for nature. The cover is Hi’ilawe Falls, Waimea, the tallest waterfall in Hawaii and truly a wet, green awe.

Found a little duck in the park today, after walking with the family, and looked up its symbolism: Ducks remind us of the value of sticking with those who are close to us. Their presence encourages us to cherish relationships and enjoy the company of loved ones. 💕💕💕 May your holidays be full & warm.

Gratitude season & my heart is full! Celebrated Cynthia Good’s new book “In the Thaw of Day” with Kim Addonizio and Dorianne Laux at Beyond Baroque in Venice, Ca. It was a magical evening of verse and a fruitful day of workshopping. #thankful #poet #poetryislife #writingcommunity
