My 2 poems in Sprung Formal!

Thank you to the editors and crew of Sprung Formal: The Kansas City Art Institute’s Literary Arts Journal for publishing my poems “We Are Different in This Room” and “The Sailors All Dance and Sing As Their Ship Goes Down.” The issue is published online right now and also as a print issue. Snazzy!

Poem Accepted at Moon City Review: “Having Grown Inland I Can Make of Boats What I Wish”

I’m delighted to learn that Moon City Review has accepted my poem “Having Grown Inland I Can Make of Boats What I Wish.” This was written after a solitary walk down to Inkwell Beach late one night from the faculty house at the last in person Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. A big starlit sky. Lights of little boats in the distance. A water bottle filled with bourbon and orange juice… Thank you Sara Burge and everyone at MCR!

2 poems in The Iowa Review!

Wow! I just got my contributor copies of The Iowa Review and I’m touched and delighted to see that my poems open the issue, and that the first one, which has kite flying in it, has a marvelous photo of kites opposite it. HUGE THANK YOUs to Abagail Petersen, Lynne Nugent, Katie Berta and everyone at TIR. I have had poems published online at TIR, and now it’s a thrill to have 2 poems in this print issue!
