Becoming - an anthology, will be released on January 12, 2026. Right now I'm honored to have my poem Doilies May Deceive You on the JLRB press website advertising the anthology. Thanks so much Katie, Terri and Lucía! For my cohort in The Writer's Studio at SFU the other poem you will be excited to see in print - after all your wise workshopping - is A Life in Pap Smears. Look forward to attending a virtual book launch in January. Image courtesy of JLRB Press. Used with perm
