Tupelo Press has selected me for the 30/30 Project to increase awareness and interest in contemporary poetry. For 30 days this April, I will complete a poetry marathon, writing 30 poems in 30 days. I am thrilled to share them with you.
These poems will be available exclusively on Tupelo's website for the duration of the challenge. I invite you to read them daily as I write them. You'll have the opportunity to experience poetry in progress, rugged and unrefined.
Take this journey with me, and in the process, help me support an independent, non-profit press dedicated to keeping diverse voices in poetry--and in a time when DEI is being dismantled, preserving these voices is imperative. Like many small presses, Tupelo depends on your generosity to bring unique and exciting poems to the world. For the month of April, I am honored to share mine through this incredible project!
Just a small donation will go a long way in helping me meet my goal
for Tupelo Press. Thank you for your support!

lightning kills
but I do not die
easily
I wield
what strikes me
raise your fists
