Two of my poems, “On Not Looking Away: A Cento” and “At Harriet Tubman’s Grave in Fort Hill Cemetery in Auburn, New York,” have been accepted for publication in the Winter 2024 print edition of Fence. Per their website, “Fence is committed to publishing from the outside and the inside of established communities of writing, seeking always to interrogate, collaborate with, and bedevil all the systems that bring new writing to light.” You can read about their history here.
Instead of a traditional author bio, Fence uses a reading note, basically a list of books you have recently read or forever loved and thus would recommend to others. How fun is that? My note which will accompany my poems in the Fence pages is here.
