Spent last week in Santa Cruz. I didn't open my NYT app once. I didn't play on my phone and I mostly stayed offline. I'm refreshed. Highly recommend. #takingabreak

I read this poem by Denise Levertov this morning. It was first published in 1982, and it could have been written yesterday. #poetry #BlueSkyPoets #poems #poetrycommunity #writingcommunity #SkyPoets #POETRY #Authors

I don’t want to be someone who always posts pictures of my cats but I couldn’t help myself.

I write the substack "LeeAnn's Punctuated Poetry." On Sunday I post a poem and short prose bit about the poem. This week's post is about my dad who had Alzheimer's and the conversations we used to have. It's free to subscribe.

Anticipating spring so I updated my website with a new Featured Poem, previously published in Canopic Jar in 2008. Dream for My Brother was inspired by my trip to Japan to see the cherry blossoms.
