Changing Gears

Carrie — Sun, 24 Jan 2021 20:49:07 +0000

Well my lovelies, it has been a wicked ride, but it’s time to change it up. In August, I subscribed to some really smart, fun newsletters on Substack (starting with Jasmine Guillory), and I’ve become a newsletter fan. My website is still THE PLACE to find a list of all my current publications and how-de-do […]

Where did Summer go?

Carrie — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 16:44:16 +0000

I keep hearing about this new-to-me trend called bullet journaling. “Track the past, order the present, design the future.” Ummmm… over here it’s just called my calendar. I’m a writer who doesn’t journal, doesn’t keep a diary – honestly, who cares what I’m doing day to day? None of your business. Hold up….why am I […]

Still Here

Hello, what’ve you been up to, my dudes? Me, I’ve been keeping calm and Carrie-ing on (yes, I did just write that). Let’s just get right to the fun stuff though. Updates to this blog! I haven’t done a blog post since 2018! EEEK. And some pages needed a good overhaul, a tweak, a kick […]

Get some kooky with yer spooky

Carrie — Sat, 14 Apr 2018 18:14:34 +0000

Hey! Hey! Who is it? It’s me, after a looooooong hiatus from this blog. Sorry, had to go live my life. But I have news! A spooky story of mine is out in the world. Nth Degree magazine is publishing my ghost story, “What Happens After the Funeral.” Don’t be scared, it’s a funny story! Ok, […]

I’m in two anthologies published this month!

Carrie — Thu, 24 Nov 2016 15:26:26 +0000

This Thanksgiving I’m grateful to have my work included in two wonderful books! The Montana Natural History Center has put together a collection of Field Notes from its long-running radio program on Montana Public Radio. Once upon a time when I was a grad student in Missoula, I wrote a Field Note about Sphinx Moths […]

“Noxious Weeds” published at Foliate Oak

Carrie — Tue, 06 Sep 2016 23:09:00 +0000

Hey y’all, here’s another of my poems out in the world. Foliate Oak has kindly published “Noxious Weeds.” Go HERE to read it!! Nope, it’s not a scientific paper on invasive species. But if you’re into that sort of thing you can go look at pretty pictures of the non-native plants taking over Wyoming. I wish I could direct […]

“Moose Bell” published in Gravel

Carrie — Tue, 30 Aug 2016 18:55:29 +0000

Well hello! It’s been a while. Since last spring actually – whoa! I have been busy – it is summer in Wyoming, after all, and I am enjoying myself immensely. I’m also really excited to share this poem with you, thanks to the kind folks at Gravel magazine publishing it in their September 2016 issue. […]

Elegy for a Warbler

Carrie — Mon, 18 Apr 2016 14:36:20 +0000

Back in 2001, I left Jackson, Wyoming and a really sweet library job to get a Master’s in Environmental Studies at the University of Montana in Missoula. I’d read a lot of Terry Tempest Williams and written some sappy poetry, and I really wanted to be a Nature Writer and save the planet. Less than a year […]

Absolutely bananas about this now

Carrie — Wed, 24 Feb 2016 02:08:24 +0000

I love listicles and they’re easy to post. Enjoy! Right now here’s what I’m into: HalfBaked Harvest I have to admit, this website inspired me to start this weekly (lofty goal…weekly…we’ll see) post of “oh how I love thee’s” – but seriously y’all I adore this cooking site, so many luscious recipes to try. Next […]

Crux

Carrie — Mon, 15 Feb 2016 15:58:37 +0000

I wrote a poem last summer called “Crux” – and it’s published today at Atlas and Alice! One of these days I hope to perform “Crux.” I wrote it mainly in my head over several weeks, while out running the bike path near where I live. I can imagine belting out “Crux” while standing on a table […]
