Poems Galore!

I'm still working on some larger projects, so stay tuned for some news on those hopefully soon, but I've had some recent success with my poetry that I'd love to share.

My poem "drought" was recently published in the Stroll of Poets Anthology, which came out in mid-March. It's a beautiful print anthology, released every year by the Stroll, and I was happy to be included with so many of the wonderful poets local to Edmonton. When I pick up my copy of it at the next Stroll meeting, I'll be sure to include a photo of the collection in my next post.

​I'm also super excited that my poem "Chains of History" was published in Penumbric Speculative Fiction Mag. Not only is Penumbric a fabulous magazine, but I'm especially attached to this poem. It intertwines the ideas of science fiction and slavery, and it's a bit thematic to the times we're living in. Hope you enjoy reading it.

And I just found out that I have two more poems coming out within the next month or two. My Shakespearean sonnet "Like Mother, Like Daughter" took home an honorable mention in the March 2026 poetry contest at Off Topic Publishing, and will likely be published in the next couple of weeks. And my poem ​"Lost", originally published in Write City Ezine, was chosen by the editors for inclusion in The Chicago Writers Association 2026 anthology, in association with Eckhartz Press, forthcoming in June 2026.

Whew! A good warmup of poetry to get ready for National Poetry month in April. Until next time - happy poeting!
