Four poems are in the print publication, Women of the Web(print), edited by the editor of Verse Libre, the Poetry Editor of MiPo, and Dorothy Meinko, an excellent poet, the MiPo Bonsai Edition 2004, and the Pressure Point Anthology, compiled by Ron Androla.   My poem in the spring 2007 issue of Boxcar won the Peer Award for the issue and has been nominated as one of three by that journal for a 'Best of the Internet' Anthology. A poem in The Dead Mule was also been nominated. Also look for my poetry on this Australian 2003 year end retrospective website.   

I was featured poet in 2008 in both In The Fray and Empowerment4Women and in 2009, in From East to West. A nice surprise at the end of 2008 was a Pushcart Prize Nomination and two more nominations at the end of 2009, as well as two nominations for the Best of the Net and Best of the Web nominations.

My self-portrait haiga is in the mid-season 2007 issue of Haigaonline and in a 2006 issue of Simply Haiku. The Haigaonline editor took time to read this bio first and wrote a wonderful introduction to the haiga, including information about the illness I deal with . I hadn't yet added the note about the name change but nevertheless, it's a wonderful issue and spreads the word about ME/CFS even further. Click on my name in this link to read and see the haiga HERE. Take time to visit the rest of the issue, too. I've also published other haiga with a wide range of images. My haiga has also appeared in Moonset and Sketchbook.. I don't post all of my haiga links since I've published over a hundred of them now, but , again, one can be found in the Spring/Summer 2009 issue of Simply Haiku. I'm also in the current 2010-2011 issues of Haigaonline, From the Gean, Haijinx and Sketchbook.
