First publication of 2025! The Hudson Valley Writers Guilt has accepted four of my poems, currently on view at their website. The poems include “The Ocean’s Graveyard,” “Morris Street #1,” “Single Family Ranch,” and “Blink with Fire.” Some of these poems are included in a collection I’m shopping around about my grandmother Wanda, my grandmother from Texas. HVWG is an amazing website that both publishes new poetry, fiction, essays, and more from people all over the world but also includes information about poetry and writing events in the Albany and Hudson Valley regions in New York state. Definitely check them out at this link!
New Bookshop Hunter Column Focusing on Northampton, MA
Far from being able to encapsulate the many literary wonders that the Pioneer Valley in Massachusetts, my new column over at the Hudson Valley Writers Guild does attempt to offer a glimpse of the wonderful experience of wandering Northampton’s streets after a strong cocktail and a plate of oysters, darting into one bookshop after another. It’s a real pleasure and I can’t wait to go back and explore some more. And let me tell you, there’s plenty to explore. Until then, I hope you’ll enjoy this bookshop hunting column. And if you like it, there are plenty of others on archive at the HVWG website.
