Progress on Poetry

Xactly Poetic is currently up to 32/70 poems

Queer Verbage is up to 24/70 poems

On my way home is up to 25/70

Fighting Ignorance is up to 22/70

Dream Drips is at 5/70

Serena’s Blood Red Rain is at 30/70

As you can see… I am making progress… but I’m not sure if I am going to be done with any of them soon… that being said… I am setting a September release date tentatively for Xactly Poetic. I think that I can do that deadline. I say tentatively as I don’t have it finished and I don’t want to promise something that I can’t do.

It feels so strange to me to have so many volumes in progress. But many of them have a theme… which means that I am limited to what goes into them.

Xactly Poetic is all about the form. I am a free verse poet – so writing to the form is a challenge for me and my writing skills.

Queer Verbage is all about being a non-binary pansexual and the rainbow magic in my life.

On my way home is not themed, really…but like many of my volumes it is picking up a slight theme of the journey and what home is to me. Though I am not doing it on purpose.

Fighting ignorance is political poetry… and my opinions there are strong.

Dream Drips is about addiction.

And of course Serena is dark poetry.

A Debate with me

So I am finally done with writing Quiet Screams… and I have Anthology Alumni completed. I normally ask for suggestions on what volume is next… but I think that is not the case this time.

I have several that are in progress and I am going to try to get them done… plus I had the urge to write a poem for On My Way Home. (Basically themed to the title 😄. ) So I am going to claim it as my new volume and work on it and then some of the other ones that are in my in progress folder.

I still have to get the coloring book (color my art) set up for publishing in July. However I have the setup for the two volumes above…links are in the last word for each title…

Upcoming books… scheduled personally

June will see Immortality Release.

July, I am hoping to release my coloring book – Color My Art – and Quiet Screams and a new one Titled Anthology Alumni. I, as you can see from the lack of links, have not gotten a confirmation that I will be able to do all three of them in July.

I already have my kids week title in preparation. It is currently in the editor’s hands, and I am about to do the illustration in June.

About Anthology Alumni… Quite a few of my poems have been published in various places. Anthologies, websites, and ezines. I don’t usually put them in my volumes once I submit them to other things. So, I thought I would gather all of them up. Note where the original publication – if any – is. And create a new volume. Below 👇 is the cover for this.

I will update with links as I have them.

A Quiet Scream

A lot on my mind… and a few people that I am missing tonight… so I am sharing an extra poem from the new volume. Immortality has been given a release date of June 9th. With any luck I will have Quiet Screams written by then and scheduled for release. This year has been a little busy.

Wild Wednesday

So, I was going to ask what I should do for the next volume… but I finished Immortality before I could get to today. Facebook suggested that I do Quiet screams next.

I actually want to ask a question. I had a live poetry reading thing in my local library. And I was extra nervous because of the parking situation with the library. It requires parallel parking. I can not parallel park. So my therapist suggested that I ask a complete stranger to do it for me. Is that normal? I feel like that is not normal and would create more anxiety. What do you think? Is asking for a complete stranger to park your only vehicle a normal thing?
