Hey poets/editors...what are your experiences with publishing poems that reference song lyrics? Do you need a release to use it or publish it in a book? Even if the singer is referenced in the epigraph?

New bio headshots by my fabulous friend and photographer Cean One Photography (LA and Palm Springs) and just in time for my acceptance to SDSU MFA in Creative Writing in Poetry program. I’m beyond excited and always grateful to be able to start something new no matter our age.
My little poems calling from the slush pile.
Can’t wait to read this one!
I need more poets to follow!
These poems are gorgeous!
Sometimes we write poems we hope our mother’s don’t read. Thank you @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social for publishing this one!
Wrote a poem about this guy. He seems very poem worthy.
So thankful for this nomination!

I love to get an acceptance but it stings a bit to pull it from the contests I spent too much money entering. One day I’ll learn!

One of my favorite respites has returned-Poetry Unbound with Pádraig Ó Tuama
I’m in the process of shopping around my first chapbook. Who are some of your favorite presses who love to debut poets?
Thank you! ☺️
Such a scary thought. Double tears and double shots.
How are we celebrating our NEA rejections?
Thanks to Humana Obscura for the Pushcart nomination! This poem went through so many revisions before finally getting accepted and look at her now! She’s my “little engine that could.” 😊
Thank you!
Thanks David!
My beautiful Pinch contributors copy arrived today. Should we have a favorite poem? This is one of mine and the title poem to my first chapbook currently “In Progress” out in the world. 😳
Looks like the poets have landed!

Still looking for poets. Who else should I follow?
I'm terrible with social media so we'll see if I can handle it. :)
Ok let’s see what life’s like over here.
