Poem published online
My poem, "Kenosis: The Heaven of Exemption," has been published on poet Bill Knott's Atheist Poetry anthology blog. It is eligible for a $1000 prize to be awarded at the end of the year. Knott is a poet whose work interests me (I have one of his books, The Unsubscriber, and have read more of his work online), and I was excited to see that he called my poem "very impressive" in his acceptance email! Those of us working outside the usual poetry circles rarely receive any informed feedback on our poems beyond the steady flow of form rejection letters, so this meant a lot to me. And those who know me know I'm all about promoting a secular, atheistic worldview, so it's a win-win situation.
