I’m thrilled to be 1 of 9 featured poets at the Sing Out Loud Poet Spotlight, hosted by Chris Bodor, Florida’s Beat Poet Laureate. Spinster Abbott’s is one of my favorite hang-outs, and Sing Out Loud is epic, with national, regional, and local artists performing live in St. Augustine, Florida.
Two of my 2022 published poems have been given great honors by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Poetry Association (SFPA).
I'm excited to share my poem, "You Can Always Tell A Barker Girl," will be in UNDER HER EYE, the 2nd annual Women in Horror Poetry Showcase from Black Spot Books benefiting The Pixel Project, a global non-profit organization focused on eliminating violence against women worldwide.
The Ghoulish Book Festival schedule was announced, and so much spooky fun is coming to San Antonio, TX on April 14-16, 2023! I'll be talking about New Waves in Horror and selling books.
Speculative poetry can immerse us in the brutality of experience or transport us away, to view horror through a gauzy lens that lets us process our most difficult emotions. I'm delighted with how dark poetry is being celebrated this month.
The Horror Writers Association is celebrating Women in Horror Month, and I'm honored to be interviewed this year.
My neighborhood crows have been croaking about approaching storms and deadlines for speculative fiction and poetry awards. I've soothed their storm worries with some peanuts, and I listed links below for anyone nominating and voting.
It has been a fabulous year of writing. Below is a list of awards that are currently or about to open for recommendations and my eligible work. I would be honored if you considered my work.
There's a Hallowen circus in town. Behind the Gothic gates are wonders, and monsters, beyond comprehension. My poem, "An Empty Seat," is about a clown riding one of the rides, something you don't usually see.
It rainy and cool in Florida, this weekend before Halloween. The cypress needles are turning a rusty brown. Strange birds are calling in the swamp, traveling south away from places where Autumn is stripping the trees. It's the perfect time to read poetry that chills the blood and breaks your heart.
