Or is that out of the habit? Quiet here lately. Work deadlines with more to do than the time necessary to accomplish them. 18 months with little billable hours. Now a salary and 60-hour weeks. Hrrumph. I like being busy, feeling productive, but I do miss those other kinds of active days, when I made [...]

Big Tent Poetry Celebration Reading
In case my three followers didn’t know, I am getting to read my poetry along side an amazing group of poets. I am completely excited, and a little nervous, too. I’ve made my selections and am practicing so as to keep up with my brilliant friends. And I keeping pinching myself. This is so cool! [...]
work in the world!
I’m delighted that my poem “Sometimes I Miss the Old Jealous Goddesses” is now published at qarrtsiluni. It’s my fifth inclusion, and I am a little surprised by that. Thank you to Beth, Dave and the guest editors who create such a great venue. This is also an example that sometimes writing to prompt can [...]
an oral confession
The interview on KBOO’s Bread and Roses show didn’t end up allowing me to read any poems, but it was a great time anyway. I got to meet Nicole Vulcan, who is quite a gal — she has all kinds of interesting, humane projects going as a caring feminist. And I got to meet VoiceCatcher [...]

thank you, tinywords
Something of mine is at tinywords (and the trees who inspired it last year are at it again).
birds and trees celebrate the year
Luliole Press has been kind enough to publish some of my photos and a bit of prose in the newly released Winter 2010 issue. For me the nicest thing was being asked if something I’d posted here could be included in the issue, and being able to provide additional photos, too. The black background of [...]
‘I and the Bird’ and poetry
I and the Bird #113 includes a snippet of one of my bird poems about bushtits. Go read the entire post. It has lots of bird poetry! (This is a photo from a while back. Recently the sun hasn’t been shining and there have been a couple dozen bushtits feeding at this and a nearby [...]
it’s good to have friends: Ourboros Review Issue Four
Ourboros Review Issue Four is live and includes one of my poems and three photos. There are also lots of friends’ work in this issue, including my virtual IRL (sic) friends, Michelle McGrane & Elizabeth Polkinghorn, as well as many other blogging and Facebook pals. (Such as Dick Jones, who travels widely among writers I [...]
