New poem published: “The Atlantic”

When I decided to become a full-time writer, I promised myself I’d spend more time writing poetry than I’d done in past years. It’s the “labor of love” portion of my new career…and I love it!

I’m excited to let you know that my new poem “The Atlantic” was recently published online by Pamplemousse, a literary journal by the BFA program at Northern Vermont University. Thank you to the editors! I grew up in Canada drinking grapefruit juice and of course the French side of the carton said pamplemousse juice…so I was immediately a fan of this publication when I found it.

When writing this poem, I was inspired by the question–what’s that uneasy melody that comes at the end of a season? Like at the end of a relationship? If you’ve ever felt that way too, check out “The Atlantic” by clicking the grapefruit below:
