Thank you to the Editor, Tarik Dobb, and the staff of Poetry Online.

I had a surprise opportunity Wednesday night when one of the scheduled authors for Literary Nights with Unsolicited Press had to cancel. Since I’ve been working on a new novel, I took a chance and shared an excerpt. I was honored to read with Unsolicited Press authors Andy Smart, Matt Daly and Rosalia Scalia, who was the MC. These three always have inspiring words to share.
Just in time for the Winter Solstice!
Pleased to share my new poem, “Call Me Before It Melts”, which just appeared in The Shore poetry magazine. Thank you to the editors Sarah Brockhaus, Caroline Chavatel, John A. Nieves for curating such a strong issue, and I’m honored to be included.
