Had a blast this week at the Longleaf Writer's Conference where I was honored as a Poetry Fellow! I met new brilliant faces, and reunited with familiar writers from the past.

My debut collection CATCH & RELEASE launches in just seven days!
If you haven’t already, now is the perfect time to pre-order your copy. Pre-orders are incredibly important for small independent presses—they help determine print runs, support distribution, and show interest in the book.

Had a wonderful time at the Connecticut Flower & Garden Show last weekend. I loved learning and connecting with others who genuinely cared about our growth on Earth, both plant & human 🌹
