I haven’t been posted much since last fall as life has been too busy. The last few months of 2022 were actually incredible, with something like fifteen poems picked up in short succession. It was affirming and exciting (if unsustainable!).
Poem in SWWIM Every Day
This is really exciting for me, having a poem picked up by the wonderful women at SWWIM in Miami. I love reading the poets featured on SWWIM Every Day, and was so thrilled to have a poem selected in late 2022.
Today they published “Post Apocalypse Heart”, and I’m sharing here the cool image they paired with the poem to share it on social media this morning.

New poem in The Amphibian
Late in 2022 I learned about The Amphibian, a gorgeous literary journal run out of The Netherlands. They had a call for poems on a nature / wildlife theme, and I sent of a couple for consideration.
I was thrilled when they selected “Natural Satellite” for inclusion in Issue 4. It’s a poem that had been longlisted and always received great feedback, and The Amphibian feels like the perfect home for it. The issue is full of great poems and short pieces paired with some amazing artwork. I include my two pages below, which shows artwork by Katja Lang and my poem spread over two pages.
If you love print journals (I sure do!), consider purchasing the latest copy of The Amphibian, here.
Big thanks to editor Anna Potter for a wonderful experience.
