I’m overjoyed & honoured to have won the Plaza Prize for Poetry judged by Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Natalie Diaz —whose work I adore & admire immensely. To have one’s poems read at all, let alone by one of your poet-heroes & to have them reflect so generously on the poem is a gift beyond measure.
… what would the world be with us fully in it, what about the 900 petroglyphs of our embraces.

Friends, I wrote a piece on poet Laura Gilpin, who died of glioblastoma in 2006.
She is best known for “The Two-Headed Calf.”
With gratitude to the Poetry Foundation for allowing me to try to restore this remarkable healthcare practitioner/poet’s legacy.

[Belatedly] Now that my contributor copies have arrived, it’s nice to be able to share my first published poems which came out last year in West Branch Mag
Thanks to the magazine’s poetry editors for giving space to established + emerging poets alike.
This is the first of them, ‘Withness’
