Every River on Earth: Writing from Appalachian Ohio

I recently received happy news of developments in the anthology of southern Ohio literature, edited by poet Neil Carpathios, which will contain three of my poems (two unpublished and one previously published in The Cincinnati Review). The anthology now has a title, Every River on Earth: Writing from Appalachian Ohio, a publisher, Ohio University Press (from my alma mater!), and a publication date of fall 2014.

This will be the first time my writing will be included in an anthology, and I am honored and extremely excited.

Nashville Review

Cover by Bianca Stone

I’m so excited to announce that the Nashville Review has accepted one of my poems for their Spring 2013 issue! I have loved this online journal since discovering two poems by Ross Gay (“Grace” &  “Ode to the Flute“) in their fourth issue. I also enjoy the fact that they include oral storytelling, dance, music (e.g. Sufjan Stevens, Andrew Bird, & Efterklang), film, interviews, and comics in their issues, in addition to poetry, fiction, and essays by people such as D. A. Powell, Tyehimba Jess, F. Daniel Rzicznek, Norman Dubie, Naomi Shihab Nye, Blas Falconer, Ben Loory, and Sean Bishop. Thanks Editors Chris Adamson and Cara Dees and Nashville Review!

Toad Suck Review

Toad Suck Review, the literary journal of the Department of Writing in the College of Fine Arts and Communication at the University of Central Arkansas, has just accepted five poems from a series of collaborative prose poems I’ve been writing with the poet Dustin Nightingale. Previous poems from this series have been accepted by Yemassee (19.2) and Beecher’s (forthcoming). Thank you Editor Mark Spitzer and Toad Suck Review!

Beecher’s

Beecher’s magazine has accepted for their next issue a collaborative prose poem from a series written with my friend the poet Dustin Nightingale. This is the second of our collaborations to find a home. The first was published in the recent Yemassee 19.2.

Beecher’s magazine is “published annually in Lawrence, Kansas and run by the students of the graduate program in creative writing at the University of Kansas.” It warms my December in Syracuse heart to have a poem in this gorgeous new journal published by my former school KU in the town I lived in for ten years. Thanks Beecher’s!
