My poem “Dark Artistry” is in Issue 7 of Baubles from Bones! This quarterly Pittsburgh-based magazine is so beautifully managed, with an emphasis on fantasy and sci-fi poems and short stories. The cover art by Lucas Kurz is gorgeous, and I’ve got to boost the editorial team.
This might be the best experience I’ve ever had with a small ‘zine!
Elyse and Joel were so proactive and energetic, keeping me in the loop throughout the publishing process. If you have the opportunity to submit a poem or short story here, I highly recommend it. If you’re a new writer hoping to publish your own work, check out my “Writing Resources” page!

This poem was a weird one inspired by my search one year for a birthday gift for my husband. You ever really end up down a rabbit hole while gift searching? This time, I found myself on a strange local antique shop’s website, cruising their stock. One item that really wedged in my mind was a vintage billiard ball made (allegedly) of real ivory.
