"The North, The South, and our Modern Society" (Talk for Wy'East)... (and further plans... )1/19/2024 In the past year, I had the pleasure of doing a talk for my friends at the Wy'East Congregation. I'm happy to share that video below... I am also happy to announce that I plan, as I'm able while working full time, to edit my remaining 'Book Show' that videos that weren't able to air because my dear friend Carol Azams went from her indie network of Diversity TV (UK and Ireland) to the Sky network (UK and Ireland). As I'm able, I plan to add those videos to the playlist that this video is now the first of, 'Ruminate', as with my book of the same title, with the larger mission and purpose of inspiring and educating people to think (and read) critically and form their own opinions. Enjoy! And... I hope you find what you're looking for.

I was published in this little gem over the summer, and they sent me a copy. It's a poem I wrote last year about being humble and recognizing every human's worth...
It feels great to be back in the submissions/publishing game!
After scouring the markets and reading up a storm, I finally had time to put together a short list of great publications to send my work to. Whether I get accepted or not, it is a real luxury to have the time to do this again (I started this process last summer but got sidetracked with going back to teaching full time and trying to adopt my grandniece just to find her father, have him recovered, and be giving her back!) Here is the list. I'm focused on submitting poetry only at the moment, due to time constraints (e.g. looking for a teaching job closer to home). These are some great reads, I highly recommend. The second and third seasons of The Book Show podcast, produced by Carol Azams and Diversity TV Ireland--and UK now!-- have been filmed and are in production!
I will keep you posted with updates! I am very happy and proud to be included in another of the offbeat, alternative literature Scars publications!
Called Regarding Utopia. Writer, editor, publisher, podcast host, podcast producer, and all-around amazing woman and mom Carol Azams has brought us another fabulous book, with many author contributions, including mine. Available from Skyline Publishers.
Thanking Carol Azams and Diversity TV for having me back!
On Diversity TV: The Book Show, 2021 Or watch on YouTube: The Book Show Books include those about real life adventures like crossing the Pacific Ocean on a large raft or flying over a then untamed eastern Africa, those that question the organization of society, and those that take an interactive look at educational books for kids. Enjoy! I hope you find what you're looking for. |
