Release Party & ARC Review

Purple Poetry Book is an annual anthology of poetry created by nonprofit TurnAround Inc for the past fifteen years. Located in Baltimore, Maryland, the organization provides advocacy, resources, education, and support to those impacted by sexual assault and domestic violence. Purple Poetry Book is a collection of poems by survivors to spread awareness. I have been published twice with Purple Poetry Book and was excited to be ask for my poem “No Woman’s Land” to be included in the 2024 Purple Poetry Book Compendium, a compilation of works over the last 15 years of Purple Poetry Book! I won’t be able to make it to release day but I wanted to share if others were in the area.

This month is the release of Imaginari: A Collection of Fantasy and Science Fiction Poetry by writer Kristina Kelly who is from my area! I was part of the ARC team and reviewed as part of the pre-release:
