Poem "Suspended Breath" just published!

If you are curious to read a poem that manages in 33 lines to mix Greta Garbo, snow and mammograms, read on! My poem "Suspended breath" was just published in the online journal: LI Quarterly. I am happy to be alongside other talented Long Island poets as well, such as Lynda Opyr, Annabelle Moseley and others.

Featured Poem on Verse Daily!

A poem of mine, published in the journal Arsenic Lobster, was recently featured on VerseDaily. It's a prose poem based loosely on my experiences searching for a place to live on the Northern Fork in Long Island. Let's just say I looked at some thirty odd houses and apartments before settling on an apartment for my husband and I in downtown Port Jefferson Village (see above). Nothing like traipsing around from one recently-vacated domicile to another or chit-chatting with various landlords/owners to get a taste of the quirkiness of humankind. The experience made me a bit philosophical, and the poem came out of the paraphernalia of that experience. Feel free to take a peek at the poem on VerseDaily and to explore the other prose poems and pieces in the Arsenic Lobster website.
