Midyear Memo: Words, Here

Fall is threatening, friend, and so I wanted to update you on my projects this year, and let you know where some of my words will appear this Autumn.  I started working on a memoir-in-verse this Spring that I hope to have completed by mid-Winter. Luckily, I've been receiving good feedback about the poems, or micro non-fictions, as I'd like to call them, which began appearing out in the world this summer.  As the pieces are published, I'll update this post with links.  Here's to a wonderful autumn, wet with leaves and love, love always, now that I'm a mother.
