I’m back with more good news about The Inca Weaver’s Tales: My mini-chapbook has been nominated for the Elgin Award for Best Chapbook!  Huge thank you to the kind person out there who read it and felt it worthy of nomination.  I’m in very good company!  Lots of awesome poetry to explore.  I see my friend Brian U. Garrison’s chapbook, Micropoetry for Microplanets, on the list of nominees as well.  He signed my copy of his book at a local event last month and did a great reading. 

Another huge thank you to the team at Sword & Kettle Press for publishing my chapbook!  I wrote all the poems from scratch when I saw their call for submissions for the New Cosmologies series.  They were so great to work with on edits, and they put so much care into the layout, illustrations, cover design, what cardstock to use, the stitching, and even how they packed it for shipment. 

If you’re interested in learning the “behind the scenes” of my research and writing process for this book, I talked about it on the podcast Into the Looking Glass: Exploring the Magic Behind Speculative Poetry.
