Write it on my tombstone that I once shared a book binding with Roxane Gay, Karen Russell, George Saunders and Jonathan Franzen. Butler University’s Booth literary magazine produced what is possibly the most beautiful book I own and I somehow get to be in it. Booth X, the special tenth issue is hard bound and difficult to put down. The entire volume is for purchase here. My essay, which was later nominated for a Pushcart Prize, can be read here.
It was a true honor to have two of my poems included in this anthology “of identity, gender & bodies”. Edited by the talented jayy dodd, A Portrait in Blues was shortlisted for the 2018 Saboteur Awards. The book is available from Platypus Press and on Kindle.
I recently had two poems published in Landlocked Magazine, which has my favorite tagline ever: Feed the patriarchy to the wheat.
“In its core, this poem reminded me of Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz,” which I believe has become one of the inevitable myths of our (dysfunctional) time, and I was also reminded of many fairy tales that explore the terrors of childhood.” —Jeffrey Ethan Lee
My poem, “The Childhood of Wicked Stepmothers” was runner-up in the 2015 Sandy Crimmins National Poetry Prize from Philadelphia Stories available here.
I was lucky enough to score 10 poems worth of real estate in the Autumn 2015 issue of The 3288 Review. This gorgeous journal, named for the 3,288 miles of Michigan coastline, celebrates West Michigan region. This issue is available from Caffeinated Press and on Amazon.
I was fortunate enough to have a poem published in another beautiful (2020) issue of the minnesota review.
“It’s clear that Boulton has written a delightful poem.”
-Scarlett Peterson, Arts & Letters
My work received this lovely review as part of Arts & Letters review of the Fall 2017 issue of The Pinch.
This creative non-fiction sketch, published by Great Lakes Review, was part of a project that mapped literature to the geographical point where it takes place. Read more here.
My poem, Stripping, appeared in Muse/A Journal. It was later performed as part of a dance exhibition by famed Atlanta dancer-choreographers MaryGrace Phillips and Clara Guyton.
The ever-wonderful minnesota review was kind enough to publish my poem, Carrier.
Two of my poems recently appeared in the apt literary magazine, where they were paired with this rather alarming image.
