hi doves and loves—
If you like my poetry (and I hope you do enjoy), please do stop and sit a spell at my substack jukebox where I post recorded readings of my poems for your listening pleasure, aka sonic bullion.
I pray you are well, all ills sliding right past you.
Old Long Since,
Kate
Hiya folks and Happy Winter Solstice!
I am humbled and thankful to report that my poem “Clearing” has been curated by the fabulous, fun, and superhot poets and folks of Poetry Trapper Keeper!
Thank you to Kelly Mullins and Larissa Fantini for all of your support and love!
Thank you readers. I hope you enjoy your time with my poetry.
Love always,
Kate
Hello gentle readers—
A bit of news: I had the honor of submitting a poetry manuscript to Driftwood Press’ Adrift Chapbook Contest this year, guest judged by thee Carl Phillips. Carl Phillips wrote one of my all-time favorite poems, The Swain’s Invitation; the idea that he might read some of my poetry, when I have long and lovingly read his, thrilled me to the bones.
I placed as a Top 10 finalist. I am so grateful for this opportunity and to have been read. Thank you, Driftwood Press.
Congratulations to the contest winner, Derek Annis, to my fellow finalists, and to all my fellow poets who entered.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.
With lots of love,
–K
