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.

A Poem on the Eh Poetry Podcast
I’m so chuffed to be included in a new Canadian poetry podcast, by poet Jason E. Coombs. Jason’s vision is for a podcast that allows you to hear poems read in the same way you’d listen to a new or favourite song: on repeat. The idea is simple; after a short intro, he reads theContinue reading “A Poem on the Eh Poetry Podcast”
Two Poems in Please See Me
I’ve followed literary journals with a medical / health focus right from the start and have always loved the work shared in Please See Me. I was thrilled to have not just one, but two poems selected for issue #10, with its focus on women’s health.

First prize in Poetry category of Hammond House Publishing contest
When I noticed the “Stardust” theme of this year’s Hammond House Publishing literary contest, I knew I’d have to submit a few poems. That theme is right up my alley in so many ways.
Shortlisted for 2021 International Literary Prize: Stardust
As a relatively new poet, one thing I’ve learned is that submitting new work to the most appropriate journals and contests makes a big difference. It takes time to figure out where one’s work might best fit. Gradually I’m getting better at this.
New poem with a sweet companion painting
I was so excited to have my poem “Birds in the Very Early Universe” selected for Prism International’s Wonder Issue, and am now eagerly awaiting the arrival of the print journal in my mailbox. It’s always a big kick to find a good home for a poem’s intro to the world.
