Award-Winning Poetry Partners Release Feminist Chapbook

“Vivid images… distil the lives of the women who wrote them. They speak to all the stages of life—even celebrate ageing--and our roles as women. These are poems [that] will stay with you forever.” ~ Nancy Famolari

Poets living half a world apart naturally understand the value of e-books, the best way for people living anywhere in the world to access a work.

Carolyn Howard-Johnson is a Californian while Magdalena Ball lives down under. Together they have published…

Two-Fer! Free Online Conference and Sample Media Release

Usually I adjust media releases for blogs so that they look more like articles or personal letters and that's really what they were intended for. Many bloggers and newsletter and Web editors just print them as-is--either because they don't know they can--even should--change them or because it is more work to do so. The other thing about media releases is that people often forget they can slant (should!) them toward current events. Thus, this is a two-for-one blog post for InkedIn-ers. (-: Hope… Continue

Collaborating Poets from Two Hemispheres Set to Make Your Mother Happy

Remembering Mothers a New Way

Award-winning Poets From Two Hemispheres Co-Author Chapbook

She Wore Emerald Then: Reflections on Motherhood was conceived by Californian Carolyn Howard-Johnson and Aussie Magdalena Ball as an alternative to the cloying greeting cards usually available for mothers in card shops. In fact, originally it was to be a thoughtful digital substitute for a card. That decision was probably influenced by the pair’s awareness… Continue

Learn and Play on Historical St. Simon's Island

I thought many of you would like to know about this new writers conference at a fabulous resort on an island off Georgia--one loaded with history. I'll be speaking at the one in Novemeber but I thought some of you might want to consider one of the earlier ones as well! (See below.) In any case, these are spearheaded by dynamic women who deserve our community's support. My writing friend from Utah, Janet Kay Jensen, will probably be going and I hope to meet many others there.

Summer Poetry Reading at the Palisades

As you may know, I rarely read my poetry. It's certainly not from lack of love of the genre. But two very special poets have asked me to read at an exceptionally supportive bookstore in Pacific Palisades in a couple of weeks (info below). I hope you'll join us and support our efforts. I'll read a couple of poems from Tracings, a couple from my coming chapbook She Wore Emerald Then co-authored with Magdalena Ball. Maybe a couple brand new ones, too. Please mark your calendars.
