My poems, “Insomniac’s Fugue,” “Terminal,” “Cephalopod,” and “Self Portrait as Ellipsis” are now live at Isacoustic*. Editor Barton Smock is an excellent curator of rich, diverse, compelling poetry, and I’m honored to have my work included among such impressive ranks!
Congratulations, Stephanie! My favourite is Cephalopod!

Such timing … four Stephanie poems to peruse while I wait for my doc appointment! There’s a lovely salt-water aquarium to pacify waiters, but I opted for stimulation and read these 4 several times each. Truly resonate with Ellipsis as “portrait” … even when I THINK I’ve been heard word-for-word often it turns out I was not … whatever words filled the space were heard as dot-dot-dot. Thanks for an afternoon of poetic introspection (more useful than the doc’s inspection).

The allure of my poems winning out over that of saltwater beauties makes me proud, indeed!

Reading these again, I find in “Terminal” the thought of the leaps we take with no safety net, risk a minor factor when weighed against the potential reward.
