hovering monarchs, bumbling bees

In June of 2021, my poem, Outer Space, was originally published by Phantom Kangaroo. It was recently accepted, as a reprint, by Bulb Culture Collective, an “online literary space for previously published creative work”. This morning, I discovered it is now available on their website.
Here’s the link to their publication of Outer Space. It’s one of my favorite pieces and I hope you enjoy it!
My poem meritorious appears in today’s publication of Oddball Magazine, a “a socially conscious publication containing articles and illustrations“.
I continue to thank everyone for their enthusiastic support. Much appreciated!
