Long Persona Poem published at Adanna Literary Journal, Nov. 15, 2011

I’m delighted to announce that a long persona poem I wrote several years ago, “Mad Lucy’s Day,” was just posted on-line today on the Nov. 15th quarterly page, “Featured Poets Page Body Image,’” at Adanna Literary Journal. This journal of women’s poetry is a wonderful new addition to our on-line journals, and I’m honored to be in such good company.

Essay Published in “Lighting the Global Lantern”

My  essay “Literary Inspiration for Writing Haiku” appears in *Lighting the Global Lantern: A Teacher’s Guide to Writing Haiku and Related Literary Forms*, edited by Terry Ann Carter. (2011. Wintergreen Studios Press, Ontario, CA).

This is an excellent collection of essays by a number of fine writers of haiku and related genres. Terry Ann gives teachers of all grades, as well as poets and anyone interested in exploring Japanese literary genres such as haiku, haibun, linked verse, etc., access to wonderful information that will help them either teach or write in these genres.
