I re-read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance not too long ago, and it gifted me a poem. Thanks so much to the editors of @creamcityreview.bsky.social for including it in their gorgeous new issue!

I recently had an MRI during a week when my preschooler was listening to La Bamba on repeat. I'm so grateful to have a poem about that experience in the current issue of @epochliterary.com!

Two Poems by Betsy Mitchell Martinez – New Letters

I'm so excited to have two poems in @newlettersmagazine.bsky.social: my very first abecedarian and a group of sonnets inspired by Jerry Pallotta's wonderful "Who Would Win?" books for kids.

This is wonderful. I would love to see the same type of list from a poet's perspective!
