A newsletter about poetry, written by a poet, for people who like poems.
I'm a poet and librarian from Portland, Maine. My poems have appeared in The Ekphrastic Review, The Atlanta Review, the Tadpole Press lit magazine, and Deep Water.
Words. Words about words. Words about copyediting. The occasional cultural observation.
Life happens. We get interrupted. When my husband died, grief opened my heart. Writing, like grieving, is an act of love. I got interrupted, but I didn't give up. Join me! A Substack Featured Publication.
My indie author space to keep you up to date on my works-in-progress, short stories, poems, small adventures, and thoughts on joyful writing.
A new poem every weekend, with a few thoughts on the writing and editing of poetry.
