- Through synchronicity, my poem about asylum-seekers in Maine, written in 2023, and selected for publication months ago, was printed in the Portland Sunday newspaper on the January weekend following the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis, that tragedy following the killing by ICE of Renee Good. The poem presents a peaceful alternative to the prejudice, slander, and violence defining the administration's stance on immigration. Thanks to the series curator, Megan Grumbling.
- "They Leave the Potluck" is in the Winter section of The Northeast Coast, issue II.
- The Kleksograph for January 2026 (Vol. 19) includes a poem of mine: "Even Misery." Poetry, prose, and art in a free PDF!
- Pinhole Poetry chose a delightful image to accompany my poem "The Drive to Work" (issue 5.1) 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.
- Synkroniciti included 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."
