Your support gives me vital inspiration as I write for thirty days this month.Tupelo Press is challenging me and opening a great opportunity for my work to be shared to a vast audience.

I've made a commitment to write a new poem every day for the month of March. This is my tribute to Women's History Month. If you follow you'll get a chance to see my poetry process in action. I'll be sharing stories behind the poems I write on IG and FB, with some insights on how my daily first draft began.

I'm offering great gifts for your donations:

15$: An Art, A Craft, A Mystery sticker

50$: A signed copy of An Art, A Craft, A Mystery, my historical novel-in-poems, and winner of The Alabama Library Association's 2024 Authors Award for Poetry

100$: A personal ode written just for you after a private consultation.

Tupelo Press provides the canvas; I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets, writing thirty poems in thirty days, all ours to edit and submit as we wish. 30/30 poems have been taken by over 200 journals and featured in over 40 published chapbooks, all so Tupelo Press can keep publishing exquisite and diverse voices that might never be heard otherwise.

Every dollar gives me confidence to write more, and helps the press place more poems in gorgeous books. Help me to help this distinguished press. Give today!
