Grateful to The Lindenwood Review for publishing my prose poem, "Every Flower Into Memory." This poem sprang from a short solo hike in central Washington that turned into a deep communion with my surroundings and nature's subtleties. Read the whole issue free online at The Lindenwood Review.

Feeling grateful to have a poem out in Whale Road Review's new issue. "Pricks” was written during a time when I was struggling with my body's physical limitations and also with the world's restrictions on women's bodies. Read the issue @whaleroadreview.bsky.social. #whaleroadreview #pricks #poem

“Tomorrow will bring a different mess,” writes Maria Koors in “The Optimist’s Almanac.” As I’ve prepared this Spring 2025 issue, I’ve been thinking about the messes that continue to pile up, both personal and shared.

Check out this giant rubber tree plant in the Recoleta neighborhood in BA. It dates back to 1800, and some of its branches are the size of tree trunks. They made statues to support them:)

I've stopped by this water shrine to la Difunta Correa in Córdoba Province, Argentina, many times & it keeps growing. I'm grateful for all the sacred places people create, to my mother-in-law, Viviana Gaeta, for these pics & to The Common for publishing my piece about the shrine in their Dispatches.

Visit a shrine adorned with thousands of plastic water bottles alongside Angela Sucich, in her new Dispatch from Argentina.
