Local Gems Press selects “Confession” for its upcoming Bards Poetica anthology.

I’m so happy to share here that my poem “Confession” will appear in Local Gems Press’ upcoming anthology: Bards Poetica: Poems About Poetry.  The anthology posed a truly interesting question to poets — “What is poetry?”

You can preorder a copy of the book right here, if you like.

I am grateful yet again to Maddie McGivney and to Bards President James P. Wagner for allowing me to see my work appear in such an exemplary poetry collection.  🙂



Poets Anonymous releases its Gathering 2024 poetry anthology

The new Gathering 2024 poetry anthology, which contains my poem “prayer upon an empty hilltop,” is now available over at Amazon.

You can find it right here.

This is Gathering’s second annual publication, and it is once again a joint initiative between Poets Anonymous and Local Gems Press.  I remain quite grateful for this opportunity to Bards President James P. Wagner, as well as Lesley Tyson and Megan McDonald of Poets Anonymous.  🙂



My “prayer upon an empty hilltop” will be published in the second annual “Gathering” poetry anthology.

I’m so happy to learn that my “prayer upon an empty hilltop” poem will be published in the second annual Gathering poetry anthology — due to be released at the end of August by Poets Anonymous!  I will post details and ordering information as it becomes available.

I had my work selected last year for the Gathering’s inaugural issue, so I am especially honored to see one of my poems published in this second annual collection.

Thanks once again to Bards President James P. Wagner, as well as Lesley Tyson and Megan McDonald of Poets Anonymous!
