Catching up on publication news: I’m so grateful to Megan Kaminski for inviting me to write and submit a poem to Written in the Stars, a celestial-based chapbook published by Humanities Kansas and illustrated by Matthew Willie Garcia.
Here is my poem “The Perseids,” a concrete poem that includes the constellation Perseus with meteors of poem lines radiating outward.
The chapbook also includes poetry by Traci, Megan Kaminski, Michael Kleber-Diggs, Jesse Nathan, Elise Paschen, Naomi Shihab Nye, William Stafford, and Kevin Young, plus essays by Megan Kaminski and Christopher Auner.
Hard copies are no longer available, but if you’d like a PDF version, please reach out to me directly.
Humanities Kansas has lost its general operating grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities due to federal spending cuts. “Humanities Kansas is the only statewide provider of humanities resources in Kansas. Last year, HK supported 488 events in 126 communities. More than 607,000 Kansans engaged with thoughtful and important programming exploring Kansas stories.”
