Poems in the World, Readings, Teaching

It’s been a minute since I’ve written. But I’m here to share some links to poems and other work and opportunities.

Poetry:

First, a poem out very recently in MER Folio. Spells and Prayers Before Antimatter. Lots of great writing here too.

And in the recent journal Naugatuck River Review, my poem, Blood of the Peony Bed, was a finalist in their narrative poetry contest. Please buy the journal as it’s quite wonderful too.

I have a few more poems coming out soon that I’ll link as they arrive.

Teaching:

I’m teaching 4 workshops in collaboration with a visual artist, Carol Rashawnna Williams, for kids living with an autoimmune disease and their caregivers. Autoimmune diseases include but are not limited to: Juvenile Arthritis, Juvenile Myositis, Crohn’s, diabetes Type 1, Lupus, IBD, etc.  The first one is coming up Saturday, March 18th at SandPoint Learning Center (affiliated with Seattle Children’s Hospital) and more to follow in May and June. I made a little video about the workshops too. See it here and please register . It is called The Kaleidoscope of Autoimmune Disease workshop.

Reading:

I’ll be reading poems in support of Donna Spruijt-Metz’s new book, General Release from the Beginning of the World, along with Heidi Seaborn, on Monday, March 20th at Elliott Bay Bookstore starting at 7 pm.

Town Hall-2019 The Body Lives Its Undoing

The Body Lives Its Undoing

I had not realized that Town Hall Seattle made a recording of the event I presented in September 2019 (a few months before COVID unleashed itself on the world), but here is a link to that reading and interactive event.

My recent 4Culture grant will expand on this project, now called The Kaleidoscope of Autoimmune Diseases.

In September 2019, I spent 2 weeks at Hedgebrook Women Writers Retreat later outlining my thoughts for it.

It’s been almost 3 years since inception and it will be a long pregnancy with this book project, but I hope you all will follow along with me. I’ll post periodic updates.
