Suzanne Chessler of the Detroit Jewish News interviewed me about my new poetry book Nature’s Olympics (Wipf and Stock, 2021). She also asked about my other books. The interview appears in the current issue of the Detroit Jewish News on page 103. #interview #poetry #poetrybook
Two different literary journals have recently published or accepted my poems. Editor-in-Chief Tyler Robert Sheldon of MockingHeart Review just published “Packages and Gifts.” Poetry Editor Wayne Benson, Editor D. Ferrara, and Founder Patricia A. Florio will publish my poem “Leaving Our First Home” in an issue of American Writers Review with the theme of “The End or the Beginning.” I recently revised both of these poems with the help of my Writers Group. The webpage of MockingHeart Review with my poem is https://mockingheartreview.com/volume-7-issue-2/poetry/janet-ruth-heller/ , and the website of American Writers Review is https://www.americanwritersreview.com/ #poetry #literaryjournal #writersgroup #revision Janet Ruth Heller reading her poetry at the Kalamazoo Public Library; photo by Hedy Habra
