So sweet to see my poem “Mine eyes hath played the painter…” from my book of sonnets in progress in PINNACLE, a poetry anthology edited by Holiday Newton. And yes! I borrowed that line from Shakespeare!!! #loveWill  #shakespeare #sonnets #onejennwild

SO Excited! I have a poem selected to be a part of “for a better world 2019”, the book of poems and drawings on peace and justice by greater Cincinnati artists. (or Cincinnati native born folks like me! 🙂 )The book will be out before May 31, to coincide with the “SOS ART 2019” event (May 31 – June 9, at The Art Academy of Cincinnati.

So excited to present my first poem inspired by my new life in Santa Fé, New Mexico! It made it all the way to Scotland!!

My crazy poem inspired by Lewis Carrol which begins with a lettuce seed and ends with the Vorpahl sword (“Who are YOU?” said the Caterpillar) has found a home in Tattoo Highway! It will be out soon in the upcoming issue themed “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

Here is 2017 Federation of Writers Scotland Makar, Andy Jackson, reading his Patchwork Poem  on the theme of Freedom for National Poetry Day in Glasgow. Andy composed this poem by using a line from each of the contributing FWS members!  And YES! a line from my poem was included!  I may be a US born poet of Irish and English ancestors although, in heart, I know I must have some Scottish blood as well. 🙂

 

 

Many thanks to the editors of WELTER, the literary journal of the University of Baltimore, for accepting my poem “The Secret is Laid Bare” for its next issue. Holy Mid-Atlantic! This is the first time one of my poems has found a home in Maryland. 🙂 And, once again, gratefulness to my critique group. You keep me at it week after week after week.
