I’m happy to announce my narrative horror poem, “The Songstress,” will appear in The Best of MetaStellar Year Four anthology to be released this June. This poem originally appeared on MetaStellar’s site on March 21, 2024 for National Poetry Day. This will be the first time the poem appears in print rather than online. For those wishing to read the poem, you can find it here. More details to come later.

**Update** The anthology has been delayed to September.
