"Best of" Collection from Touch: The Journal of Healing & Other Announcements

My short essay A Little Perspective and my poem Hospital Hush appear in Strong Voices: A Year of Touch. I am honored to be included with such fine voices.

My first chapbook, Guitar Without Strings, is scheduled to be published by The Lives You Touch Publications later this year.

I have also received word that poetry by me will appear in both Today's Caregiver and Cloudbank. I'm excited about both of these opportunities.

I will be starting graduate school at Saint Xavier University in May 2010. I am seeking a Master of Arts in Curriculum & Instruction.

Throughout the month of April, in honor of National Poetry Month, I will be writing a poem a day. You can follow my progress either by friend-ing me on Facebook or visiting the Academy of American Poets' online discussion forum. If you like what you see, please consider making a donation to the Academy of American Poets as my sponsor. Thank you in advance for helping the AAP keep poetry in the public eye!
