My poem (De)Construction Instructions was published in long con magazine's issue 2.2 Thank you, Andy! As they say on their website - "long con’ s foundational philosophy is that all artworks exist in troubled & beautiful conversation with all other artworks ," (De)Construction Instructions started as a draft during NaPoWriMo as a response to the poem Improvisational Score by Sawako Nakayasu

I hope. I had a great time. Thanks to Skylar Kay for hosting and Ashley Frerichs for all her work and organizing! Two poet friends, Vivian Marple and Sharon Christie, read with me at the Stroll of Poets Festival Sept 6. We enjoyed a number of other poet's readings and then stayed for supper at Madi's 1212 with some friends who graciously braved attending an open mic of poetry. I even got to surprise Ben with a new love poem, a genre I hope to explore more.
