I am very pleased to announce that one of my poems has been included in the just published anthology, Voices Unbound. Through that link you can buy a paperback edition and preview an electronic version.
My poem is called Coming Undone. I wrote it a while ago and I’ve been shopping around for years. Here’s the first stanza, to pique your curiosity:
How can the moon raise tides
from a quarter million miles away
but this celestial beauty lounging
in my bed raises nothing from me?
