Thank you to all the readers and editors at the journals who published my work in 2025. It was, at age 50, my most successful year ever, with 7 new stories out. I’m so grateful to be part of the micro and flash community.

My heartfelt thanks to the editors and community organizations I got to work with in 2025. This list is mostly poetry (with some reprints) and does not even include music writing—including 4 interviews. 2025 was abundant.

The Flowers

My daughter sits in a body of flowers,
the casual beauty that occurs
a few miles into the wilderness,
and it is morning in December,
none of the animals know what to do,
summertime...
