New York Glamour Magazine – Interview with Gabriela Marie Milton – Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women

Book cover Experiments in Fiction, artwork Nick Reeves

Dear Readers,

I am delighted to be featured in New York Glamour Magazine the second time. The interview is mostly about Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women, an anthology so dear to many.

Again my deepest thanks to our publisher Ingrid Wilson, Experiments in Fiction, and to Nick Reeves whose art is on the cover.

Here are a few snippets from my interview:

“I am ecstatic that the book was for 9 days a #1 Amazon Bestseller [category: poetry anthologies].”

“The book is a memorable collection of over 200 poems by more than 100 authors.
It’s a must-have because we all can benefit from the poetry of survival,
and of healing. We all can benefit from the experiences so strongly evoked in this
book. We all can come together to emerge triumphant from pain. We all need to
understand that equity among sexes will lead to the creation of social, economic,
and political structures far more suited to respond to the challenges of the future.”

You can read the entire interview in the link below.

Have a beautiful summer everyone.

    1. Thank you so much Tim. Great to hear from you again. I hope everyone is ok. Sending love and treats for the kitties.

      1. We are plugging along. How are you? You’ve been quiet lately.

      2. I am ok, thank you for asking Tim. We were in Europe for 8 days. We’re back. We will leave again in August. Don’t ask who made the travels arrangements 🙂
        How is the water situation?

      3. We got 1.8 inches of rain in June, which was a half inch more than we got in the previous 10 months after I put in a new weather station. We don’t have water for irrigation and the Rio Grande is running very low. We’ve had 0.08 inch of rain so far in July.

      4. That’s not good. I am really sorry. This climate…
        Is there any rain in forecast?

      5. We are coming into the monsoon season. We should get more thunderstorms in the evenings.

      6. Glad to hear Tim. You guys take good care of yourselves.

      1. Thank you so much Gabriela, it is a smashing summer here in the Aegean Coast of Turkey, sometimes Greece. Nice sunny days and temps not bad, in the 20’s so it is never too hot, like the heat wave we have in Spain! Cheers and all the best to you!

  7. Gabriela, you’re a two times New York Glamour magazine feature and a Amazon number 1 bestseller – that is absolutely incredible! 🎉 I’ve followed your blog for years now (is it really that long? Time goes so quickly these days) and I’m so proud of everything you’re achieving. It’s cheesy to say you’re an inspiration, but it’s also very true. I also love what you said in your interview about how “We all can come together to emerge triumphant from pain.” Fabulous. Congrats!
