Erasure at Calamus

The final issue of Calamus Journal is out now, and it contains beautiful erasures by Kelly Cressio-Moeller, Sonja Johanson, Sara Adams, Michelle A Ladwig, and me (plus poems by other poets as well). So sorry that this will be their last issue. Thanks to editor Eric Cline for such a glorious ending.

A Relief Map

My poem The Relief Map Fails to Relieve, included in the latest issue of the Valparaiso Poetry Review, took a little longer to place than others have taken. I really believe in this poem, and was so gratified when editor Edward Byrne did too.

I love VPR every issue, and this one is no exception. Byrne's eagle eye also found terrific poems by Kelly Cressio-Moeller, Veronica Kornberg, Susan Terris, Athena Kildegaard, Carol V. Davis, and others. If you are in need of a poetic treat, this is the place to satisfy your craving.
