I’ve received the honor of being Tupleo Press’s first ever haiku poet to be featured in their 30/30 project! My goal is to compose 30 poems in 30 days while raising money to support one of the most culturally significant independent publishers in the world.
My poetry marathon began today. To support it, visit https://www.tupelopress.org/donate.php and select my name under the “30/30 Poet” field.
Sorry for the lack of updates as of late. Life has kept me busy. I’m part of a big project that’s upcoming in May. It’s poetry-related, and will give me the opportunity to share haiku with lots of people. More details to come soon!

A few months back, I won Appling County’s Escape the Ordinary poetry contest.
Read the winning poem below:
My all-time favorite poetry journal Lynx was discontinued in 2014. I take consolation in the fact that the final issue featured two of my poems.
