National
Poetry Month, 2014 has been incredibly busy for me. Great readings
with many of my poet friends. I've shared my work with audiences at the
Poetry Zone, The SB Museum of Art, The Book Den, Carpinteria High
School, UCSB's San Miguel Residence Hall, and at Alameda Park during two
days of the SB's Earth Festival. Its been a tremendous excursion,
Nevertheless, nothing matches my exhilaration at the sudden publication
of my current "featured poem" on the For Harriet webpage "Soar".

For Harriet also posted it to their Facebook Page which has over 57,000 followers
https://www.facebook.com/forharriet
It
was published on April 26 and appears in close proximity to stories
about Gwendolyn Brooks, Lucille Clifton, Nikki Giovanni, Coretta Scott
King and Alice Walker. The poem "I Am That Woman" has already had
nearly 900 likes and over 200 shares. The comments are greatly
appreciated.
It is the affirmations from my family, my friends, and all whom I encounter, that fuel my journey.
