The Gathering 2025 and the Bards Poetica anthologies are now available at Amazon.

Care to lay hands on some poetry for the cooler days ahead?  Two new anthologies from Local Gems Press are now available at Amazon.

Gathering 2025 can be found here.  (If you happen to order a copy, please check out my poem, “As Silver as the Stars You Tried to Rival.”)

Bards Poetica can be found right here.  (If you order a copy of this book, I hope you’ll enjoy my poem, “Confession.”)

Have a great weekend!  🙂



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.  🙂
