I believe how these types of posts go is to begin with a lot of gratitude, throw out some stats (and cheers), add in a few things learned, and wrap up with a couple of goals and predictions for the next year. Without further ado, let’s begin!
Read MoreA ton of joy and gratitude goes out to The Stillwater Review for nominating my poem "Notes from the Art Museum" for a Pushcart Prize. This is my second nomination overall and I’m so excited to have my work put forward for consideration again.
