Feeling grateful to have a poem out in Whale Road Review's new issue. "Pricks” was written during a time when I was struggling with my body's physical limitations and also with the world's restrictions on women's bodies. Read the issue @whaleroadreview.bsky.social. #whaleroadreview #pricks #poem

“Tomorrow will bring a different mess,” writes Maria Koors in “The Optimist’s Almanac.” As I’ve prepared this Spring 2025 issue, I’ve been thinking about the messes that continue to pile up, both personal and shared. www.whaleroadreview.com/issue-38-spr...

Happy to share that a reflection piece of mine was published on the Rooted2 Substack. The nonfiction micro essay was inspired by the thorny trees & plants plentiful around my mother-in-law's home in rural Argentina. Visit the link in bio to read the full story. #rooted2 #trees #thorns #writing

Going through my mom's stored photos, I found an old/young pic of my dad. I showed my mom, and she said: "That's a good photo." I get it, Mom.

Check out this giant rubber tree plant in the Recoleta neighborhood in BA. It dates back to 1800, and some of its branches are the size of tree trunks. They made statues to support them:)

I've stopped by this water shrine to la Difunta Correa in Córdoba Province, Argentina, many times & it keeps growing. I'm grateful for all the sacred places people create, to my mother-in-law, Viviana Gaeta, for these pics & to The Common for publishing my piece about the shrine in their Dispatches.

Visit a shrine adorned with thousands of plastic water bottles alongside Angela Sucich, in her new Dispatch from Argentina.
