May 2023

Every day now, the landscape, treescape, and soundscape change. The world around us is suddenly lush. Last week, on a walk with my daughter and grandchildren, we were delighted to see buttercups sprouting at the Audobon Sanctuary in Princeton, Massachusetts, though less excited to find the ticks were also in bloom.

As for my writing life, I have a new poem up, "After Making Love," in the Valparaiso Poetry Review, a favorite journal. And recently,  I was the featured reader at Speak Up  at the Walnut Street Café in Lynn, Massachusetts. For those who live nearby, I recommend a visit to this weekly Wednesday night event.

Last but not least, I went to two wonderful book launches recently. One for Judith O'Connell Hoyer's new collection, "Imagine That."  And one for Kelly DuMar's "jinx and heavenly calling." Both are available from their publishers, on Amazon and elsewhere. 

Please email me if you want to receive my periodic communication about new work, events, books and the like. And if you want to purchase "Winter," you can do that either here, or on Amazon.
