Thank you to Jeff Santosuosso and the editors at PANOPLY for selecting my poem, "Feral," for publication in their beautiful new UNTAMED poetry anthology. I am so very proud to have my work included with so many talented writers.  UNTAMED, PANOPLY's first themed anthology, is available on line now.

I am extremely honored to have been nominated for this year's Puschart Prize in poetry by the editors at Ocotillo Review and Kallisto Gaia Press.  Thank you so very much to Tony Burnett and his staff for their esteem and recognition.

Warmest thanks and appreciation to the editors of New Plains Review.  Their editors selected my poem, "Winter Solstice," to appear as a lead submission in their upcoming poetry anthology.

Thank you to Tony Burnett at Kallisto Gaia Press and his editorial staff for The Ocotillo Review. The editors  selected my poem, "Lace Pentagrams" -- a poem which has become my own contribution to the "Southern Gothic" literary tradition --  to include in this impressive regional anthology. I am very proud to be reading with other esteemed Southern writers (of fiction and poetry) at tomorrow evening's Houston book launch, hosted by Visionary Heights Art Gallery, 1331 Nicholson St, Houston, TX, 77008 at 6:30pm. I will also be especially honored to have visiting actress and director, Rachel Jones, of Axial Theatre, and playwright, Stephen Baluzy ("The Great Thing About Me") attending, as well as Southern writer and memoirist, Nancy Geyer (instructor of that incredibly popular memoir writing course at Rice University).

Thank you to Brazos Bookstore for hosting a stellar reading for Red Sky yesterday! I am so grateful to my co-editor and fellow poet, Stacv Nigliazzo, as well as other luminary poets who read their work with us from the anthology: Jane Chance, Carolyn Dahl, Melissa Studdard, Aleenah Spencer, Chris Wise. PLUS, I am deeply grateful for Fran Sanders at Public Poetry for championing this event. We were thrilled beyond measure to read our poetry to a full house yesterday! Thank you to everyone who came out, supported our cause, and bought books! Red Sky: Poetry on the Global Epidemic of Violence Against Women is now available at Brazos Bookstore in Houston.

Berlin based literary journal, The Wild World, has published my poems, "Narcissus" and "Gardenias," in What the Heart Sees (The Wild Word, Issue # 25). Thank you to the poetry editors for selecting two of my "white flower poems," and special thanks to lead editor, Kusi Okamura, for her stewardship over this beautiful journal.  As an added note, I am especially grateful to have had these two poems published in Berlin, the city which my father called home. https://thewildword.com/poetry-gabrielle-langley/
