My dada-esque poem, “Delta Summer,” has been published in eMerge Magazine’s Summer 2023 issue!

Read this decidedly “alinear” poem in eMerge and please let me know what you think!

Written in the context of the Covid-19 Delta variant, “Delta Summer” features many twists and turns, as well as bizarre but (to / for me) meaningful references.

Thanks for your ongoing care about and commitment to my writing.
