The editors at Ninth Letter have been supportive of my work for years, and I’m grateful this new poem (from book six!) has landed in their latest issue. This issue’s TOC is full of stars—I’m lucky to be among them! ✨

Hi poetry reviewers, writers, readers: here’s a document I made of paying reviews markets. Holler at me if you see something that needs to be updated/deleted/added! 🙏 I would appreciate it. Would love this to be a community resource for freelance writers to be paid for their criticism.
