I am thrilled to announce the release of Prayer Gardening, a poetry collection I co-authored with Constance Brewer. We’ve exchanged poems with each other for several years, discovered our common territories as writers, and enjoyed the way our poems sometimes talk to each other. It was only natural for us to collaborate on this collection, which keeps our poetic conversation going.
The poems in Prayer Gardening consider those moments of awe we find in our daily lives, the way we find answers to questions we didn’t know we had when we allow ourselves to really see what’s in front of us, whether that might be birds cartwheeling through a winter sky or sunlight washing over someone we love. These poems are quiet but clear in their gratitude for this world, even as it is challenged.
Prayer Gardening is available from Kelsay Books here: https://kelsaybooks.com/products/prayer-gardening
As we await the delivery of our boxes of books, Constance and I are planning a Zoom reading to launch the collection. I’ll keep you posted.
Congratulations to both of you on your poetic collaboration! If the content is anything like the cover, then I expect outstanding, insightful and beautiful poetry.

I am open to reading dementia behavior poems for my 2024 book. No remuneration, but there will be exposure.
