I am mesmerized by this gorgeous artwork by Julie Dillon.
My poem "Los fantasmas en Su Boca," published in Poisoned Soup for the Macabre, Depraved and Insane: Nostalgic Terror (@brigidsgatepress.bsky.social), will be reprinted with the poetry finalists in the 2026 Rhysling Anthology, out in July.
I was like MY GOD who did that art that absolutely stopped me in my tracks, and of course it's absolute legend Julie Dillon 😍

She was lovely, and a gentle inspiration to things like writing poetry.
