All in all, had had it's ups and downs, but there have been some great moments. Between projects with the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy such as our Kid Governor program and working with other organizations for youth services, to road trips and spending time with college buddies, and also serving on several boards, this elf has stayed busy! It was an amazing feeling to see my book in print, and thank you to Literati Press Comics & Novels for making that a reality, and ending the year on The Journal Record Power List was humbling.
to you all! Let's hope 2023 is a better year for us all!
Hey Red Dirt Family! Our friends at Literati Press Comics & Novels have teamed up with OKC-Span and Period OKC to help out some of our neighbors in need. You can drop off donations of unopened menstruation products and women's underwear sizes M and larger at Literati Press through the end of December! Please show up for our community by grabbing a couple of these items the next time you are at the store!
December is going to be popping with Red Dirt Writes featuring Durell Carter on Dec 8 (at Literati Press Comics & Novels) and our Open Mic & Solstice Social Winter Poem Exchange on Dec 14 at Ponyboy! More about that:
We here at Red Dirt Poetry want to take a moment during the darkest and coldest part of the year to give each other some light and warmth in the form of words. After the Open Mic at our Solstice Social we are going to exchange poems, either written or printed with each other. Your host, , will be bringing enough small written poems to give out to everyone (some of them may even be custom poems for certain poets) and we encourage anyone who would like to participate to do the same!
See y'all soon!!!
OUR OSAGE HILLS by John Joseph Mathews and me in paperback (2022) makes a great gift. In the OKC area, find it at STASH and GREEN FEATHER BOOK COMPANY in Norman, LITERATI PRESS BOOKSHOP and FULL CIRCLE BOOKS in Oklahoma City, and BEST OF BOOKS and COMMONPLACE BOOKS in Edmond. I will be doing a special signing event Friday, December 9 at BIG RAIN GALLERY in Pawhuska.

We ran up to the city to pick up several of my art pieces from Exhibit C Gallery in Bricktown and my comic art panels from Literati Press Comics & Novels in the Paseo! But at Exhibit C two of my pieces will remain until April 2023, my Potawatomi girl in the red dress, the painting of the violet irises. Both will be for sale and can be purchased through the Exhibit C gallery, or if you just want to visit to see all the amazing art! It’s about that time to start Christmas shopping so this would be a good gallery to check out as they have Native art and goodies and in all price ranges. Also the bookstore Literati Press in the Paseo has some really neat gifts and books 📚.
I spent most of the autumn running full speed into completing and promoting various creative projects that I completely forgot to promote myself, reading one of my favorite newer poems in one of my favorite bookshops repping my favorite open mic. Thank you Red Dirt Poetry and thank you Literati Press Comics & Novels! I'm off to get so hydrated.

As many of you know, I collect comic books. A few years ago, I wrote a story using the two super kids from our Heroes Ball. They were modeled after two local kids, one of whom died a few years ago. The story was modified to tie in with our Kid Governor program in Oklahoma, teaching about the importance of civics and voting. Today, the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy shipped the first batch to participating 5th grade classes around the state and will deliver the rest locally on Monday, totally more than 1,000 free comic books for these OK students. Thanks to Literati Press Comics & Novels for helping make this dream come true!
Don't forget: we'll be in OKC on Saturday for our next MID/SOUTH ANTHOLOGY event! Come see us at Literati Press Comics & Novels
Some of my works are now available at Literati Press Comics & Novels in the Paseo Arts District. Stop by this Halloween weekend to check out some cool local art! Stay tuned for another big announcement next week!

I was given too much credit in the running of Literati Press Comics but it was a lovely interview with some wonderful creators in the UK.

For 3 years I've had Poetic City merchandise as well as 5 other author books being distributed at Literati Press Comics & Novels in the Paseo. Rather I'm in store or not.
You can't take that from me.
Fantastic - high level vocabulary, representation both in gender and ethnicity, exciting plot twists, and clues set in visual literacy. Bravo Literati Press Comics & Novels
