Something to be proud of

Leaf Garden Press Issue 11 is out

Issue 11 of Leaf Garden Press is out. I am currently the poetry editor. The editorial staff is incredible. Do check it out.

Getting close

Georgia is experiencing the worst snow storm of my lifetime. So with that the building where I work is closed and may be closed for the rest of the week. This means I can catch up writing projects like my new book of poetry. I have been working on it for one year and now it is almost ready. Oh happy day!

End of the year post

This year has been different. I am writing the final poems to my first book of poetry. I plan to submit for publication during the beginning of the year.

I have made some new friends and learned new things about old ones.

I've grown as a woman, artist, mom, human.

Love has a master's class that I so hope to pass someday.

I am grateful for everything I have...and look forward to sharing with others.

November

I am pleased to announce that my poem "Tease" was nominated for Dzanc Books Best of the Web 2011 by Diverse Voices Quarterly.

October

October began with rain, a concert from the Brown Thrashers, and a cool breeze. I am sore from moving this weekend but I do plan to write something later. The weather is getting colder and my suffering will begin.

Turnings

The last few weeks have beem a whirl wind. I am still standing. My computer which holds all of my new work and much of my old died and I am working to retrieve it. I am not sending work out because I am spending the summer working on books. I have several new projects I am excited about.
