The fantabulous Robert Okaji and I have collaborated on this “found-prompt” poem, inspired by and ultimately published by editor D. Ellis Phelps! What a wonderfully rewarding poetic experience! 💖💖💖
“Dead Rose at 5 Points Local,” a collaborative poem with Stephanie L. Harper, is live at Formidable Woman. Many thanks to d. ellis phelps for taking this piece, and for offering the prompt which set it in motion.

Fascinating supper conversation – The poem is beautiful. Nice mystery in “last week’s sweetness” …
Bravo for you and Robert!!

Thank you, S.J.! Bob and I have collaborated on and published a handful of poems now, and we just seem to keep getting better and better at it! He is sensitive and brilliant, and the trust we have in one another that allows us to put our heads together like this is nothing short of the privilege of a lifetime. 😊
