When it rains, it pours, and it has been raining here in Kobe, both literally (for a week or more) and figuratively.
Today, I'm pleased to have a new poem in the new issue of The Adroit Journal alongside the work of Elizabeth Onusko, Alex Dimitrov, Patty Paine, Michael Bazzett, and more. Thanks to Peter LaBerge for putting together this stellar issue!

Jump in the POOL!
Thanks to Judith Taylor and Patty Seyburn of POOL Poetry for including four of my poems in Issue 14, along with work by Rusty Morrison, Matthew Thorburn, Peter Cooley, Molly Brodak, and more!
About twelve years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to POOL and said he thought it was one of the hottest new journals following the best writing, and I've wanted to place work in it ever since. And today's the day! Yay!

From the Masters
Bridle Path Press has a monthly feature called "From the Masters," in which writers share tips and advice. This month I was honored to be invited by Nina Romano to share my essay, "Constraints Are Your Friends," in which I invoke the experiences of musicians, writers, and the Oulipo.
Check out other monthly essays, such as Joan Murray's "Give Me a Break: On Revision and Line Breaks," Sandra Rodriguez Barron's "The Art of Detaching," Joan Colby's Catching a Poem," and more.

Interview / Review / Woo-hoo!
Two bits of self-promotion.
1) Donna Vorreyer, at Put Words Together. Make Meaning., has included me in her charming series in which she gives poets fill-in-the-blank sentences to complete (a la Mad Libs). Donna's questions are quirkier (and hence more revealing) than other interviews you'll read. Check out her entire series, in which each poet gets a different set of unusual sentences to complete.
2) Joshua Hjalmer Lind, editor of Hartskill Review, reviewed Mendeleev's Mandala for the Fall 2015 issue. He called me (via my work) "as playful and devastating as John Donne."
Wow. Just wow. I never expected that comparison, one I'm not worthy of . Wow.
