DAYLIGHT & TENFOLD ORIOLES is here! It includes 17 poems and 1 work of microfiction by 17 authors. In total, this collection was created by 49 participants & their 55 contributed words.

But it starts with a traditional donated words poem featuring many new participants. This project was self-published in October 2025.

SCREAMWORDK contains 8 Halloween/autumn/skeeeeeery/sweater-weathery/cool-as-a-midnight-breeze poems written between 2021-2023. Each poem contains elements of the 8 poems in TEAMWORDK (2021). 58 contributors provided the 76 items (72 words, a theme, a title, a photo, and 1 person selected which words I had to use for a certain poem!) that went into these works. The 8th poem was also read aloud by me and set to a soundscape I created with found sounds and instruments. This project was released on November 3, 2023.

REUNION FRUIT SYNERGY is a celebration of 5 years of donated words poetry by way of 5 new, collaborative poems! 82 contributors supplied the 82 words I implemented into these new poems. Other fun additions such as a donated title, theme, original line, artwork chosen by a poll (and more!) mirror some of the items submitted to these projects over the last several years! This collection also shares some of the thrilling data from donated words poetry projects from 2018-2023 such as… 302 people have donated 701 words to these experiences! And there has been so much more and it has been a real treasure to host these poems and projects! Here’s to 5 great years of collaboration and it will be interesting to see what’s next! This project was released on May 5, 2023.
