- The Maine Poets Society has released Timberline and Shoreline: Celebrating the enduring legacy of poetry in Maine. This anthology of poetry by current members honors the society's 90th anniversary. Poets Jenny Doughty, Bill Frayer, Gus Peterson, Debbie Smith, Ellen White, and I served as editors. Over 55 poets are represented—myself included!—with one or two poems each.

A video of my poem "The Color of It" that's in included in the anthology From Pandemic to Protest, released fall 2021 from The Poetry Box.
- Synkroniciti is here, and I'm please this issue includes my poem "For a Glimpse (without paying)." Always a pleasure to see what images editor Katherine McDaniel pairs with the writing she curates. The theme is "expectations."
- Pinhole Poetry chose a delightful image to accompany my poem "The Drive to Work" in their social media posts. The editors also ask contributors some interesting questions about writing process.
- Wordpeace, a multi-genre online journal dedicated to peace and social justice, shares my poem "Almost Warm" in the winter/spring 2026 issue.

Quotations for writers
“You go through moments in your career, times where you feel that there’s, you know, opportunities to be taken, to take the next step, to make it to the next level, to become an even better version of yourself. And to fall short constantly, you start doubting yourself. You start doubting whether you’re going to be able to break through and kind of take it to the next step.”—Alex de Minaur, the No. 5 seed from Australia, after losing 7-5, 7-6(4), 6-3 to Flavio Cobolli at Wimbledon, 2026
