Thank you @halfwaydown esp. ed. Jeannie E. Roberts, for selecting my poems for publication in 2020 - and again for the 20th anniversary feature. I appreciate the generous commentary on each poem, also. 😍

So grateful to Amanda Fields and Literary Mama for this dream-come-true review of my chapbook HEMICRANIA. From the perspective of another migraineur-writer-mother, it's beautifully written, deeply insightful, and so generous. What a gift 💛 literarymama.com/articles/depar…

@deepsouthmag Thank you so much for giving this poem a home - with gratitude to Erin Z. Bass.

Belated congrats to Lit Fest alum @theresegcarr on the publication of HEMICRANIA. As described by Carolyn Oliver, "Gleason traces her family’s matrilineal inheritance of migraine alongside an enraging genealogy of the medical establishment’s ... disregard for ... suffering."

I so appreciate this blurb from Rita Maria Martinez, sister migraineur, for my chapbook, Hemicrania. 🙏🏻

Carolyn is my dear friend - and a brilliant poet. Not only did she write me a beautiful blurb, but she also provided insightful editorial input on Hemicrania. She's as astute and sensitive an editor as she is a talented poet. I'm so grateful, @CarolynROliver #migraine

So excited!

Huge thanks to @ronslate for nominating my lyric essay about migraine, "When I Get Botox I Think of Bees" for a Pushcart Prize. It's such an honor, especially considering the stunning work he curates in @On_The_Seawall 🧠🐝🐝🐝 ronslate.com/when-i-get-bot…
