Immigration, Language, and Communication. I'm grateful to discuss these important issues via a poem in the new Sky Island Journal podcast series, Voices of the sky. The poem is titled "How to Spell America." Take a listen! https://t.co/oYS2KTN5N4

My big, happy news for 2020 is that the poems I wrote out of the dark, scary places in 2020 will be a new poetry book published by Saddle Road Press in 2021. 73 poems. Title: The Broken Places. #poetry #Believe

I'm so happy to share Issue Six of @RockvaleReview which has 33 incredible poems, art paired with each one by @shelleykthomas and music for some by Michael Morton. The work by fellow editors @YasminKloth, Christine Fraser, @PoetBroderick, and Shahe Mankerian is a beautiful thing!

I'm looking forward to @WriterFestNSH this November 22-23. Ciona Rouse and I will be talking poetry in a panel called "Poetry in Motion: Writers Using Artful Language." Still time to register for this conference created to empower, inspire, and promote writers!

[Sandy Coomer @SandyCoomer]

Because I don't like to hear myself talk, I might not listen to this interview, but maybe YOU should and see the lovely things AROHO is doing to support women writers and artists. @RockvaleWriters is providing a one-week residency for one lucky writer!

[A Room Of Her Own @aroomofherown]

Hot off the presses! Listen to the effervescent @SandyCoomer founder of @RockvaleWriters talk about "a room of her own," the power of creativity, and her gift of a writer's residency. Will be drawing this holiday season! Find here: https://t.co/lR62nkGivq #makeroom

Come say hi if you're going to be at the Decatur Book Festival this weekend. I'm reading poetry at noon on Saturday at Ammazza and Rockvale Writers' Colony will be in Booth 437. It's gonna be fun!
