My poem, “Of These One and All (after Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself 15),” is now live in the Fall/Winter 2024 issue of Rat’s Ass Review! Poems appear in the order of their poets’ last names; please enjoy some terrific writing as you scroll to, and beyond, Harper :D).
As a long-time admirer of (as well as previous contributor to) this top-notch web-journal, I’m truly grateful to editor Roderick Bates for his passion and integrity in steadfastly promoting poets and the poetry community, and especially for selecting my little ditty for publication in this fantastic issue!

I will now refer to all my flashes as “spates of steaminess”… 😁 This journal was such a strikingly personal collection of human experience, I felt extra proud of you representing one of the least acknowledged, even among women in the same family… Solidarity!😘

Thank you, Sun. The hope that readers may see themselves in and/or experience a sense of solidarity with my poetic accounts is the whole reason I do what I do. 🙂
