This year’s theme for everything I’m doing on Experience Writing is Depth, so for this year’s daily posts in April I’ll be exploring the A-Z of Depth, and writing daily poems for Poetry Month about the A-Z of Depth.

I’m Thankful for Some Fun
The new issue of Gold Man Review is now available, and includes my poem “Taste of Temptation.” I really love the cover. That shark fin makes me so happy.

Fear of Acts of God
Welcome back for the thirtieth day of Writober. We are in our final days looking at the fifth universal fear: fear of extinction.

Fear of Extinction
Welcome back for the twenty-eighth day of Writober. The month has flown by like a ghost-witch on a rocket-powered broom, and here we are in our final days looking at the fifth universal fear: fear of extinction.

Fear of Loss of a Sense
Welcome back for the twenty-seventh day of Writober. It’s Sunday, and the last day we’ll be looking at the universal fear of loss of a sense.

Many great horrorContinue reading “Fear of Parasites”
Fear of Torture
Welcome back for the twenty-fifth day of Writober. During this fourth week we’re exploring the universal fear of mutilation. Today we’re looking at fear of torture. Amnesty International put out this video about their efforts to stop torture around the world: Though I find the title “Torture Animation” off-putting, the message about the reality ofContinue reading “Fear of Torture”
