*screaming internally*
So in addition to the incredibly kind folks who have reviewed RISK A VERSE: A Year in Daily Sonnets on Amazon and Goodreads (THANK YOU!!), my book received its first professional review from Kirkus Reviews, and it's almost entirely good! And the criticisms (i.e., that the annotations tend to over-explain and that there's a penis joke sonnet) … Continue reading *screaming internally*

Wordy Pursuits
I'm back, fresh(ish) from my annual writer's retreat in Michigan! I've had to miss the past two due to performance conflicts, so this one was especially needful. The house wasn't the most comfortable we've had, but it was bright and airy, only a few steps from this glorious stretch of beach. Despite walking to the … Continue reading Wordy Pursuits
