I’m pleased to announce that one of my poems can be found in the wild, or at least on The Mistake Anthology blog. The way it referred to me was hilarious: IMPERFECT poet Brenda Davis Harsham. So fitting. 🙂

The Mistake Anthology, Imperfect, comes out this month carrying two of my poems into the world with it.

tickle my wintery skin

bubbling with superpower,
