3 Poems in DMQ Review

Thanks to DMQ Review's Sally Ashton for selecting three of my poems for the latest issue, along with artwork by Bea Garth, and poetry by Carol V. Davis, Todd Follett, and others. Please check it out.

Perpetuation of the Species: Poets Respond

Rattle has a weekly feature in which a poet writes about a current event. This week the Poets Respond poem is my brand spanking new poem about the refugee crisis.

It's nerve-wracking to write a poem on Friday and submit it 15 minutes before the midnight deadline, and then have it appear on Sunday. But I do hope you read the poem, and perhaps respond yourself to Poets Respond.

Thanks to Tim Green and Rattle for giving my newest poem a home. It's heart-breaking that the refugees aren't able to get a new home so readily.

New Review: Mendeleev's Mandala

"We know from the first few lines, from the poet’s first remarkable observations, that this is not your grandad’s book of verse." Wow! Thanks to Arthur McMaster at Poets' Quarterly for this beautiful and thoughtful review of Mendeleev's Mandala.

IM on IMDb

This is kind of trippy--I just realized I'm on IMDb. For "Crows, Reckoning" a Motionpoem directed by Alex Hanson and Edward Chase Masterson (and thanks to Todd Boss). Check it out!

Tuck Yourself In with Naugatuck River Review

It's getting cooler here, especially in the evenings, and it's nice to tuck yourself into bed in the evening with some reading. May I suggest the recent issue of Naugatuck River Review, a journal of narrative poetry that includes in its latest issue work by me. I wish I knew who else's work was included, but my contributor copy hasn't arrived yet, so I don't know. But there have been sightings of the journal out in the wild, so any day now!

Thanks to editor Lori Desrosiers.
