Pleased to have my essay, “A Mother’s Paradox,” up on Coffee + Crumbs, a collaborative blog about motherhood.
Interview in SF Weekly’s The Write Stuff column
Evan Karp over at The Write Stuff interviewed me for SF Weekly.
(I just learned that, due to budget cuts, all regular SF Weekly columns are getting the boot. This is a drag, because Evan’s work to connect the literary community through Litseen and Quiet Lightening deserves a wide audience. Thankfully, the interviews will still happen over at Litseen.)
Midnight Breakfast: “I Have No Bow”
The good editors at Midnight Breakfast have released their fourth issue, and my non-fiction piece, “I Have No Bow”, was included.
It’s about a subway ride experience I had, and the mini-crisis of conscience which ensued. I wish that women all over the world could dismiss with a single civil gesture any public attention that came their way. Alas…we have no bow.

Two reviews in JERRY Issue #8
A couple reviews of books of poetry — Robin Clarke’s Lines the Quarry (Omnidawn) and Sarah Heady’s Niagara Transnational (14Hills Press) — have been published in the eight issue of JERRY Magazine.
It was a pleasure to read and write about these first books by two devoted and deeply observant poets.
First issue of ‘Ekphrasis’
This Spring, I contributed a poem to a new publication, Ekphrasis, edited by Monique Mero-Williams and produced by Fourteen Hills and Voices/Visions. I was assigned an image (“Guest” by Jennifer O’Keeffe) and asked to respond. I wrote “Hottub Exegesis”. It is a lovely journal, with nice heft in the hands, and I hope they make many more of them.
