Exciting News!

Thank you so very much to Wyoming Writers, Inc: I had the incredible opportunity to attend the Wyoming Writers, Inc 2023 Conference this weekend— what a fantastic group of writers, new friends, and engaging sessions!— and I am very proud and honored to share that a new poem of mine, “After Claire Sherman’s Cliff II,” won First Place for Free Verse Poetry in the Wyoming Writers, Inc 2023 Writing Contest, with Lori Howe as the judge. All my gratitude and love to WW, Inc and Lori Howe! I am thrilled! 🎉

Upon Learning My Work Was Read By Naomi Shihab Nye

… I squealed. Loudly. Hehe.

Just got the email from Ruminate Magazine that my poem “Song of Husks” is a finalist in the 2011 Janet B. McCabe Poetry Prize, one of 16 poems out of thousands– and yeah, I didn’t win, but holysmokesNaomiShihabNyereadmypoem! And now Ruminate is going to publish it in some as-yet-undisclosed issue.

This is my face: =D
