I have three poems up at Gold Wake Live (Goldwake Press’s online journal.) “come look at this view” was inspired by my trip to WA. “Gone Girl” was inspired by Gayla Drake’s song “Persephone” when she sang it two feet in front of me. And “pink and white” was inspired by god knows what. Come read. :)
