It has been a turbulent year. I haven’t done a lot of writing and almost no submitting, but I did have a few poems come out this month. Right now, it is all I have to share.
I already shared the poem in Orange Blossom Review, but if you would like to have another peek, you can do so here. My poem “Wax” appeared in Fresh Air Poetry, a new publication from the former editor of Amaryllis, Stephen Daniels. I also have a poem in this months Burning House Press that you can read here.

This is an amazing thing to say, Wendi! Thank you so very much!

it is always a pleasure to read your work.
July 14, 2019 at 10:04 am
Wow, Susan!! You never cease to amaze me. Wax captures the voice is chaos and desperation like nothing I’ve read. And The Taste of Rage is just that – it truly leaves the reader with a tangible taste of it. It resonates. So good, both of them!!

Love all of them. They are painfully gorgeous.
It’s not the quantity that counts.

Thank you, Gorgeous Lady! Sending love to you!
July 14, 2019 at 11:25 am
Susan, your poetry is always beautiful and inspiring. It is those who are truly gifted who doubt the power of their gift. You keep doing what you’re doing. 🙂
July 14, 2019 at 12:05 pm
You always lift me up, Steven. Thank you, so much for your kindness and encouragement! You know how I feel about your work! I haven’t had the energy to read, much less write, but I have all of your posts saved to read when my head is less cloudy.
July 14, 2019 at 3:51 pm
No worries. I hope things improve for you, and all those clouds disappear.
July 14, 2019 at 11:46 am

Oh, Kim, thank you so much. I am feeling so beaten down right now, so emptied out, but your kindness lifts me up and means more than I can express.
July 17, 2019 at 7:17 am
Awe. Thank you for that. I’m just so relieved you feel better, even a bit… I wish we could go out for a coffee.
