Hello.\u00a0 Happy October to all.<\/strong>\u00a0 Some would say the month started off with a dumpster fire of emotions. The Kavanaugh hearing on Thursday September 27 has left many of us feeling out of sorts.<\/p>\n There is enough commentary on this situation so I won’t fuel the fire. Instead I’ll use this space to promote two new placements of mine.<\/p>\n I had the pleasure of writing a poem on commission for Fac\u00e8r\u00e9 Jewelry Art Gallery<\/strong><\/a>, specifically in response to a beautiful glass bead necklace and earring set made by Jenine Bressner<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Fac\u00e8r\u00e9<\/strong> publishes Signs of Life<\/strong><\/em>, a combined contemporary jewelry art exhibition and literary journal featuring the work of nine jewelry artists and nine published writers. Their work is paired in a unique publication celebrating both literary and jewelry arts. This is Signs of Life’s<\/em> <\/strong>14th year of publication.\u00a0 I am so grateful to be included — thanks to Karen Lorene<\/strong> and Madeline Courtney<\/strong> and to the artist Jenine Bressner<\/strong> for creating an inspiring work of art. The Signs of Life Exhibit<\/strong> opens tomorrow, October 3, and goes to the 23rd; there is a reception Wednesday, October 10, at 5 pm.\u00a0 Fac\u00e8r\u00e9 Jewelry Art Gallery<\/strong> is located at City Centre, 1420 5th Avenue, #108, Seattle, 98101.<\/p>\n I also had the pleasure of seeing my work\u00a0 published by LitroUK<\/strong> <\/em><\/a>as a FlashFriday<\/strong> feature. Opposite in tone to the love poem I provided to the gallery, this prose piece “This Will Be the Last Time”<\/strong><\/a> is on the topic of addiction.\u00a0 Thanks so much to editor Catherine McNamara<\/strong> for choosing my work.<\/p>\n That’s all for today — Peace, love, and solace<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hello.\u00a0 Happy October to all.\u00a0 Some would say the month started off with a dumpster fire of emotions.
