1 May: A wonderful review of THE GRAVITY OF EXISTENCE by Jasmine Arch, "Micro-Poetry Dissects the Universe" at New Myths!

"Snappy, humorous, and dark, this collection is one to browse again and again, with poems that will hit differently at different times.""

"Nothing feels out of place, quite a feat with poems that fit within the space of a breath on topics ranging from new looks at well-known fairytales, to monsters shamelessly reclaiming their identity and their monstrosity, to space explorers and their cats.""

"I don't like to ascribe a numerical value to books, but if I must, I give The Gravity of Existence nine out of ten astronaut kittens.""

27 March: UNQUIET SPIRITS arrived! I was enthralled to see my essay "The Demon-Haunted Girl" alongside the exquisite writings of many wonderful friends and colleagues. My deepest gratitude and thanks to editors Lee Murray, Angela Yuriko Smith, and publisher Lindy Ryan, for including my work in this stellar volume from Black Spot Books.

Of all the incredible essays, Yi Izzy Yu's "The Substitute" resonated most with me. Extraordinary pieces of history, culture, and storytelling encapsulated in this singular marvel. So familiar and so powerful. Such great courage. It led me to contemplate the path not taken.
