Thank you to The Poetry Shop for partnering with me to raise awareness about migraine, a neurological disease that impacts 1 in 6 households in the US. The Poetry Shop is donating 15% of sales of HEMICRANIA in June to @miles4migraine, as am I (dm for signed copy)🧠💜 #migraine
I'm thrilled to share that HEMICRANIA has won the 2025 Jean Pedrick Chapbook Prize from the New England Poetry Club, selected by Matthew E. Henry. A thousand thank yous to him, NEPC, and @ChestnutReview. Congratulations to the finalists - honored to be in your company.
Thank you @halfwaydown esp. ed. Jeannie E. Roberts, for selecting my poems for publication in 2020 - and again for the 20th anniversary feature. I appreciate the generous commentary on each poem, also. 😍
So grateful to Amanda Fields and Literary Mama for this dream-come-true review of my chapbook HEMICRANIA. From the perspective of another migraineur-writer-mother, it's beautifully written, deeply insightful, and so generous. What a gift 💛

Belated congrats to Lit Fest alum @theresegcarr on the publication of HEMICRANIA. As described by Carolyn Oliver, "Gleason traces her family’s matrilineal inheritance of migraine alongside an enraging genealogy of the medical establishment’s ... disregard for ... suffering."

I so appreciate this blurb from Rita Maria Martinez, sister migraineur, for my chapbook, Hemicrania. 🙏🏻
Carolyn is my dear friend - and a brilliant poet. Not only did she write me a beautiful blurb, but she also provided insightful editorial input on Hemicrania. She's as astute and sensitive an editor as she is a talented poet. I'm so grateful, @CarolynROliver #migraine
So excited!
