Back again!

OK, that last "I'm back" didn't take very well. But I have an excuse, as you can see. Born February 4, 2010. More updates as I get around to them...

I'm Baaaack

Well, it was a long, hot, nauseated summer, but I'm finally back in the saddle again. The good news is that the nausea was caused by my second pregnancy, now in its sixth month. The bad news is it's still swelteringly hot here in New Orleans. Bleah.

But I've had some work published in the past few months that I have been lax about sharing. A book review I wrote appeared in the July/August issue of Women's Review of Books, and my poem "Shanti's Gun" appeared in the summer issue of Melusine. Please check them out, and support these wonderful publications.

Now that school has started, and my nausea has abated, I hope to have more work out there in the world soon--keep an eye here and I'll add my updates!

New Work Published! And a Poetry Reading!

I'm happy to announce that two of my poems currently appear in Umbrella's annual issue of light verse, Bumbershoot. This issue features Richard Wilbur, as well as many other talented (and funny!) poets, so swing by and check it out! My poems (if you're in a hurry) are "Country-Western Triolet" and "Anecdote of the Green Toilet." Stay tuned for more new work posting soon...

Also, for anyone in the New Orleans area, I'll be giving a reading, with four or five other poets, on Saturday June 6 at Latter Library (on St. Charles). The fun will begin at 2 (and will only last until 3:30). Gina Ferrera will host; this is a newish monthly series she's putting together, so it's bound to be good. Hope to see some folks out there!
