Poets Anonymous will publish my work in its upcoming annual Gathering anthology

I am so pleased to share here that Poets Anonymous will yet again publish my work in its annual Gathering anthology; my poem “As Silver as the Stars You Tried to Rival” will appear in Gathering 2025.

You can preorder a copy of the book right here at the Local Gems Press website.  The launch event will be on August 27th in Chantilly, Virginia.  (Details are at the website.)

This will be the third year running that Poets Anonymous has selected my writing for this annual collection.  I am grateful to Lesley Tyson and Megan McDonald of Poets Anonymous, along with James P. Wagner of the Bards Initiative.



It’s a “Gathering” Gathering! (August 27th in Chantilly, VA)

Hey, gang, I just wanted to help spread the word about Poets Anonymous’ August 27th launch event for the second annual Gathering poetry anthology.  The event will take place at 7:30 at Courtyard Dulles Airport Chantilly, 3935 Centerview Drive, Chantilly VA 20151. (The door opens at 7.)

Admission is $5.  You can purchase the book at the event, if you wish; preorder information is right here.   The poets whose work will appear in the anthology have been invited to read their work (though I am sadly unable to attend due to a prior commitment.)

I hope you are all having a terrific summer.  🙂



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!



Preorders available for the Gathering poetry anthology!

You can pre-order your copy of the Gathering poetry anthology, assembled by Poets Anonymous for release at its book launch on August 22nd in Fairfax, Virginia.  The anthology will include my poem, “Smiling Among Inert Shipwrecks.”

Details can be found here at the website for Local Gems Press, which is collaborating with Poets Anonymous to produce the book.
