"Revolving Doors: My Short Covid Career," an account of my breathless days working at a hospital during the beginning of the Covid-19 crisis, debuted in the Summer 2020 issue of Rain and Thunder.

In both 2019 and 2020, I was humbled to win a monetary poetry prize from the Writing Center at Saginaw Valley State University.  My poems "Late-Winter Walk Around the Pond" and "Northerner Plays with Fire in Water" were published in their annual literary journal Still Life.  The prize award parties were held at the Marshall Fredericks Sculpture Museum (2019) and at the Saginaw Art Museum (2020), with a poetry slam included.

I finally finished up my double-short film project, it debuted on MCTV in late-2020. The two mini videos are called "Kitty Trip" and "Skywalk."  So okay, maybe I didn't learn as much as I'd hoped from my first film, but at least I had fun making these two new shorts come together.

In a recap of 2019...
I made a film based on my prize-winning poem "Late-Winter Walk Around the Pond"; it can be viewed HERE!


As always...
Check out my chapter "Billie Jean King" in the book 100 Entertainers Who Changed America: An Encyclopedia of Pop Culture Stars and Their Stories (ABC-CLIO); and don't forget to pick up the poetry anthology I edited How Can You Say We Are Not Related?
