"Layers"

Poem published in Painted Pebble Lit Mag

Painted Pebble Lit Mag published its 5th web issue this week, and I’m honored to have my sijo “Layers” included! I’m grateful to Sarah Ann, Twila, and the whole editorial team. This is the first time I’ve been asked to record myself reading my poetry. Hearing my own voice reading it felt unnerving at first, but I’m thankful for the depth it added to the publication experience. I’m grateful this poem has a lovely home.

My prose poem “Bradwoods Blackbirds” will be published in PPLM’s 7th issue next spring, so I’ll update when that’s available! What a blessing to have poems accepted for multiple issues, and in the company of so many other beautiful pieces. I hope you take time to enjoy them all.

Thanks for supporting me and my writing.

The Lord is near to all who call on him,
    to all who call on him in truth. -Psalm 145:18
