Poetry and Memoir writing are traditionally thought of as different kinds of writing but a mash-up can be very successful. One way to use poetry in memoir writing is to think like a memoirist but write like a poet. Organize the poems with a theme, paying attention to the changes that occur for the author in each poem. Just as a traditional memoir writer should think about what changes, what obstacles are overcome. What resources does the writer have in the scene or poem to help them achieve their goal? What is the through line, the thing that ties all the poems, scenes, or stories together? He ..read more

The Penn Review was founded in 1951, making it the oldest continuously published literary magazine at the University of Pennsylvania. It was very exciting to have my poems “Three Miracles” (included in my new book A Godless Ascends) and “Preparation” previously featured at The Penn Review which was also included in their 50th issue! They are known for their fast response time, and got back to me on my submissions within a few days. They are listed as one of the fastest poetry markets on Duotrope.

2 poems published in Anti-Heroin Chic

I’m honored to have two poems published in the December issue of Anti-Heroin Chic alongside so many incredibly talented poets! My poems “The Hospital Bed Floats” and “Anniversary” are poems of recovery. It’s important to me that these personal poems are out in the world.  Many of you know that in 2015 my son (21 at the time) was in a horrible accident in which he was hit on his bicycle by someone in a pickup truck in downtown Salt Lake City. He nearly lost his life. Recovery was difficult, but he made it through and I’m grateful every day that he is still the same amazing, creative person ..read more
