I’m so very pleased to say that my winning poem in Kelsay Books’ Women’s Poetry Contest plus 4 others (of which 2 are new publications) AND an interview are now available to read onlineĀ here. My section begins on page 13. A paperback copy of this issue is also available both on Amazon and Kelsay Books. A BIG thank you to Karen Kelsay Davies, Editor-in-Chief and Jenna Wray, Associate Editor for their loving attention to my work and for this beautiful issue–a basket of apples and oranges, a sweetness that lingers, poem after poem, on the tongue.

Great News!
I’m thrilled to report that my poem “Ladies’ Night Out” was one of 57 finalist poems for the Montreal International Poetry Prize 2022 and will be published along with the winner and other finalist poems in a contest anthology! My poem can be read here
I did share this news in a Facebook post a couple of weeks ago when I briefly had wifi. I am still away on our boat but at last have some consistent wifi coverage! The winner was announced yesterday and you can read her poem and the judge’s commentary here
It’s a win-win in my book when a contest (and this was a big one with a huge purse) offers publication to the finalists as well as the winner. My poem is one dear to me, I’ve tweaked it a few times over the years and I’m so pleased it finally gets to go out into the world in such an honorable way.
