New England is so beautiful and vibrant this time of year.

So happy to see this book in print! I fell in love with this collection when judging the 2025 Grayson Books Chapbook Contest. Great for the Sealey Challenge. tinyurl.com/ph22txws

Next Saturday at JustBook_ish in Dorchester, MA. We would love to see you.

Today’s visitor 🧸♥️

Many thanks to the @driftwoodpress.bsky.social editors for including one of my poems and an interview in this beautiful anthology.

Author copies! (Yes, those are tears in my eyes.) So grateful to The Word Works, especially to Nancy White and @bradrichard.bsky.social . Thank you!

Unfortunately, I am not able to be at AWP, but my book is there! Just to clarify—these are pre-release copies of my book. Stop by The Word Works' table (booth 1001).

Slapering Hol Press is delighted to announce that @jemmaleighroe.bsky.social’s Running with the Hare, winner of the 2024 SHP Chapbook Competition is now available for preorder!

Foggy sunrise. Sleepy morning,

I’m delighted to announce that All Were Limones is now available for preorder from The Word Works! wordworksbooks.org/product/all-...

It’s a great day to work in the breezeway. Normally I would be concerned that it’s warmer than it should be this time of year, but today I am grateful. I was craving sun and warmth desperately.

Cover reveal! Some sunshine among the darkness. I am thrilled to share with you the beautiful cover of my debut full-length poetry collection, forthcoming from The Word Works.

This little cairn standing by my garage door puts a smile on my face. @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social stacked it to look like a Japanese lantern. My tendency to anthropomorphize thinks it needs a name, a Japanese name. It has so much personality. How are you finding joy these days?

Happy birthday to my amazingly sweet and talented husband @aaroncaycedokimura.bsky.social! ♥️♥️♥️♥️🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

I’m usually not into inspirational quotes, but this one seemed apropos for 2025.

Many thanks to the final Judge Jennifer Oakes for selecting my debut full-length manuscript as a winner of the Hillary Tham Capital Collection competition! I’m excited and honored! Thank you also to series editor @bradrichard.bsky.social and The Word Works president and co-editor Nancy White.
