I wrote my latest chapbook, Come Closer, I Don't Mind the Silence (BottleCap Press, 2023), largely thanks to two previous 30/30 challenges with Tupelo in January 2022 and January 2023.

And Tupelo Press is once again providing a platform and support!

On my end, I bring my words, accompanied by a cohort of fine poets who are writing 30 poems in 30 days ... all ours to edit and submit as we wish.

Rewards for donations:

$15 a pdf broadside of a poem and infinite gratitiude

$25 an exclusive craft essay about responding to other poetry and infinite gratitude

$50 help with an ode/poem and infinite gratitude

ANY AMOUNT HELPS! Thank you!

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.
