Glint

Thanks to editor Brenda Hammack at Glint Literary Journal for publishing two of my poems, alongside other wonderful poets, including Wendy Carlisle Taylor, Leslie Minot, Yuan Changming, and Jennifer MacBain-Stephens.

Poem on the Radio--Soon!

Hey friends. One of my poems will be read on the KRFY 88.5 radio show "Songs-Voices-Poems" on Sunday, 11/10, at 7 pm, Pacific Time (it's a local station in Idaho). It's not available as a podcast, but it can be livestreamed at Krfy.org. I'll be listening in here in Japan--if you have an interest, please join me from wherever you are.

Thanks to radio show host Jackie Henrion for this opportunity.

Superstitions about Trees

Friends, I was the guest blogger for the Superstition Review this week. Thanks to editor Cassidy Horan for the invite. If inclined you can see my post "Consciousness of Humans and of Trees" here. 

Posit-ively Thrilled for Best of the Net

Thanks to Susan Lewis, editor at Posit, for my first Best of the Net nomination, for the poem 'Gabriel's Horn' in Posit's Issue 19.

Other nominees from Posit are Julie Phillips Brown, Anne Reisenberg, Susan Leary, F. Daniel Rzicznek, and Margaret Hanshaw. Congrats, and good luck to all!

New Poem at Juxtaprose

Thanks to editors Emily Browne and Julie Erickson at Juxtaprose for publishing my poem Equinox in their latest issue.

Five Poems at Puerto del Sol

Thanks to editor Tyler Julian, I have five new poems up at the Puerto del Sol blog. The font is quite small--I'm sure due to formatting issues--but if you are up to the challenge, have a look. Thanks so much for continuing to read this blog in the post-blog world.

UPDATE: Poet Carol Berg tells me viewing these on a cell phone make the font easier to read.

Radio Interview

Friends, I was interviewed by David Cheezum on Radio Free Palmer in Alaska, if you'd like to have a listen. To be honest, I still haven't listened--a little nervous about hearing myself, but David was charming and warm and I'm sure you'd enjoy listening to him!

A Few More Centos

Thanks to editor Diana Love of the Coachella Review blog for publishing two more centos. Yippee!

New Poem in The Cortland Review

The title of this post says it all. Check out "Winter Descending" if you like. (Audio file so you can hear my voice, if interested.) Thanks so much to new editor Christian Gullette for including my work in his inaugural issue, alongside poems and translations by Kazim Ali, Elizabeth Onusko, Jennifer Grotz, Todd Kaneko, Patrick Donnelly, and more.

Cento at Stirring

Somehow I missed my cento going live last month at Stirring Lit , thanks to editor Luci Brown. So here it is, better late than never, Body Dysmorphia Cento.

Reading at Authors Live Tonight

Hey, friends, yes this is late notice, but I'm reading from Whiteout tonight at the literary event Author's Live (hosted by Jared Angel) at Bar Iznt in Sannomiya, Kobe, from 6 pm.  Other readers will be Peter Mallett, Warren Decker, and Jerry Gordon. Please consider joining us if you are free. Good food, good company, and hopefully interesting readings!

New Cento at Juked

Thanks to editor Collier Nogues for publishing one  of my centos at Juked.

Pittsburgh Poetry Houses

Ever since I heard of the Pittsburgh Poetry Houses, I wanted to be a part of it. Self-described as " A few tiny houses scattered about the city of Pittsburgh each with four poems free for the taking," this is an admirable public art project. AND one of those tiny colorful houses is at Randyland, eeek!

So it's with a real thrill that I announce that editor Sarah Boyle selected my poem "Nocturne without Counterexample" for inclusion (previously published in the Baltimore Review). That means my poem has been to Randyland, though I have not (yet)!

Check out the whole issue. Or all the issues--go for it! Each poem is short because it needs to fit on a small paper to go in the tiny houses, so if you want shorter poems, this is your source.
