New Poem at Prudence Dispatch
I’m so happy the poem σπίτι (spiti) found a home this winter in Issue #2 of Prudence Dispatch. As soon as I saw their call for submissions about islands, I thought of this poem, written about our time on the island of Patmos, Greece.

How close apocalypse feels touching this stone. Like every generation, I imagine the wars and violence of my age an arrow the fire-swept forests of my youth a type. Strange how we tame fire within these walls in beeswax, gentle wick lapping up the night. Strange and sorrow when I read just after theContinue reading “New Poem at St. Katherine Review (4 of 4)”
New Poem at We Choose Welcome
It was my great joy to partner with We Choose Welcome to share this poem, “Invisible” Women. From the notes: “Invisible” Women gives language to the quiet strength of women the world tries not to see. Women whose hands prepare meals, whose voices hum songs of survival, whose courage endures even when sorrow is ignored.Continue reading “New Poem at We Choose Welcome”

New Poem at St. Katherine Review (2 of 4)
We barely knew, then, what it meant to venerate A life that shone ahead like a mid-day star; How to stumble into churches with their damp Stone and let a prayer rise to our lips like heat, Or what to take from the cacophony of tales… Read more over at St. Katherine Review.
