September 2026 Update

The start of fall has been busy, with a few bigger projects on the go. The cooler temperatures have been welcome after the hot summer, and I’ve felt more productive writing-wise. One of the September books releases that included some of my work was Poetry from the Rock, published by Engen Books. I’m always happy to have my work included in their publications. I was also grateful to Ian Thomas, author of Green Islands: Poems from the Great Bear Rainforest, for participating in an interview for The Temz Review (details below).
