Greetings Poetry Fans and Poetry Fam!

I seem to be on a bit of a roll!  Following my inclusion in the incredible anthology We Don’t Break, We Burn: Poems of Resilience, I’ve just been published again! This time, my work appears in the March issue of Deep Times: A Journal of The Word That Reconnects.

Deep Times is a biannual journal inspired by the work of environmental activist and scholar Joanna Macy. It “offers must-read articles, art, and poetry for people who have experienced the shift in perception invoked by the Work That Reconnects – of how life flows in relationships and systems, not isolated things, and how our selves are not separated from each other or Earth, but deeply interdependent.” As such, I’m deeply honored to have been included in this issue.

My published piece, “Shards” has been a favorite of many readers, especially recently. In it, I describe my archetypal loneliness and frustration trying to navigate a world in decline, deterioration and transformation. By hesitantly sharing this poem with others, I’ve learned I’m not alone. I’ve met more who are “truly weary of the brokenness” and who also seek a “path leading out of this shatter zone.”

Thank you for reading!
