I'm a writer who has my first collection of confessional poetry in the works called "Life Prevails."

@AskBMD Hi. I need to submit documents to change my last name. The FAQ says to follow the directions on "the splash," but I don't see them. I've tried multiple times to find them. I really don't want my information in the post. Could you give me more direct instructions? Thanks.

Poetic forms are like mental games of "Twister." It's fun to think up topics that fit the occasion. Here's my post on the sestina which focuses on 6 end words. https://t.co/OfZJBQklKf

Here's a backstory to a poem called "Carlin Hall, Gallaudet College, 1984." My mom and I lived there when I was 7, and I had an unforgettable memory. The link to the poem is in the blog post. https://t.co/qqBHkAEQFf

Here's a typical day growing up. I hid a lot from others, both at school and at home. Mom read this poem and others and said, "I didn't know." I said, "I know." Here's a prose poem of secrets. https://t.co/NgZdR1UppF
