Today, I’m tooting my own horn instead of reviewing someone else’s book. I know. Sometimes, I can be so vain.
I’m pleased to announce that my poem, “Concealed Cane,” which was originally published in my collection, That’s Life: New and Selected Poems, now appears in the December 2019 issue of Wordgathering. This online journal features fiction, poetry, essays, book reviews, and interviews by and about disabled people.
Because of the magazine’s move to its new headquarters at Syracuse University, the release of the December 2019 issue was delayed until last week. You can visit the publication here.
The poetry section offers recordings of poets reading their work as well as the text of the poem. My poem is displayed this way. Please click here to read it or listen to a recording of me reading it. Enjoy! Thank you for stopping by.
New! The Red Dress
Copyright July 2019 by DLD Books
When Eve went to her high school senior prom, she wore a red dress that her mother had made for her. That night, after dancing with the boy of her dreams, she caught him in the act with her best friend. Months later, Eve, a freshman in college, is bullied into giving the dress to her roommate. After her mother finds out, their relationship is never the same again.
Twenty-five years later, Eve, a bestselling author, is happily married with three children. Although her mother suffers from dementia, she still remembers, and Eve still harbors the guilt for giving the dress away. When she receives a Facebook friend request from her old college roommate and an invitation to her twenty-five-year high school class reunion, then meets her former best friend by chance, she must confront the past in order to face the future.
