Sonic Boom Issue Nine (August 2017)

     I don't always remember to submit to Sonic Boom, but whenever I do, I keep my fingers crossed that editor Shloka Shankar would accept at least one of my works. For the most current issue, I have two acceptances, one of which is my very first media art entitled "Wine Moon." I used some cutout pictures, small bottle, shells, net, glitters, distress spray stain, modeling paste, and other media art products. For the finishing touch, I added some digital effects.

Sea Bandits

     Sea Bandits is now available for viewing! I've already read it from cover to cover. So delightful as ever! Once again, Aubrie Cox put together another superb collaborative project on Yay Words!. This time it's packed with a little of everything - haiku, haiga, tanka, sequences, haibun, prose poems - from regular and new contributors. I sure miss her doodles, but there are a few added in the mix.

     I'm so pleased to have my two haiku included among the many lovely short poems. Aubrie finds my "mermaid" haiku incredibly endearing, and I owe it all to her wonderful doodle.
