New Anthology of Love Poems!

Dear friends, I know it’s hard to be excited about much right now, given all the distressing things happening in our world. But I feel so much joy in announcing this new book, my first collaboration with my husband, Brad Peacock. A year and a half ago, while out on a walk, I asked if he’d ever want to co-edit a book of love poems by LGBTQ+ writers and allies, and he said an enthusiastic yes. The result is this collection of heartfelt poems and short essays from Storey Publishing, with a lovely Foreword by Inaugural Poet Richard Blanco, and amazing full-color illustrations inside and out by renowned artist Lisa Congdon. Love Is for All of Us is appropriate for all ages, with poets from all walks of life, and it celebrates love of all kinds at a time when love is hard to come by. Official release is on May 6th, but copies signed by both of us are available for pre-order here at my favorite indie bookstore Battenkill Books. They’ll even ship right to your door!
