It was a great pleasure to be interviewed by Deborah-Zenha Adams for her 3 Questions & a Poem interview series via substack. She recently launched this substack to provide “[t]ips, tales, and tons of advice from professional writers and editors to help you on your writing journey.” You can subscribe for free content or for additional content via the paid option for a very reasonable $5/month.

While I’m currently only posting on my website occasionally, there are many resources available online to use for current submission calls and other helpful tips,  check out some of these excellent literary resource sites, not to mention my lists that will be useful for the long term, such as Year Round Calls. If you’re on Facebook, I’ll continue to run the No Fee Calls for Poems group as well.

The interview includes the three questions she asked me, as well as my poem “Ode to a Young Screech Owl,” plus information on my new book A Godless Ascends, and a link to a great poem by fellow poet and friend Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer. Here’s an excerpt:

What’s the one poem that everyone should read today?

I love this poem by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer and how it encourages me to pause, take a moment for myself when I need it. A fellow Colorado poet and just a beautiful person to share space with, I’m excited to see her when she performs locally in my little western slope town this week. https://coloradopoetscenter.org/poets/trommer_rosemery-wahtola/filling-my-purse.html
