reading and writing a life
In the past few weeks, I’ve been alternately frustrated, anxiety ridden, angry, and exhausted from all of it. In retrospect, I can calmly admit that I am ridiculous. I am vindicated. And I’m totally willing to go through it all again. Well, almost all of it. Three years ago, I uploaded my two poetry collections […]

The bees are quieting. Pretty colors other than deep green birthed by spring are beginning to wilt. Summer is a hovering haze just above the treetops, dense with the threat of stifling damp heat.

Ramshackle Houses & Southern Parables is available today! After reading about an author who said she loved publishing on Kindle first because friends would give tons of feedback which she would then use for the relaunch, I thought … that’s totally doable! If I would have known this service was so accessible, I would have […]
