B O D Y
My poem “Apparently, I’m Not a Joiner” has been accepted for publication by the online journal B O D Y.
If you haven’t yet, you should check out the great poetry, prose and media they publish — such as these selections from Daniil Kharms translated by Ilya Kaminsky and Katie Farris.
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!
Salamander
I am overjoyed to share the news that Salamander has just accepted one of my poems for their Summer 2013 issue.
The Bakery & The 22 Blog
To my delight, in the last week I have had two poems accepted by The Bakery and one by The 22 Magazine Blog. Autumn is good.
Southern Ohio Anthology
Three of my poems have just been accepted for an upcoming anthology of southern Ohio literature edited by the poet Neil Carpathios. One of the poems is an older one written while driving down to my brother’s farm in Ohio and was published a few years ago in The Cincinnati Review. I had to pull off the highway to get the poem down on paper as it had started spontaneously flying out of my head while I was driving. The other two are brand new poems, from my second book-length manuscript, focusing around my time last year living in an apartment above Main Street in an Ohio village (pop. 800).
This is the first time my work has been included in an anthology. I am overjoyed, to say the least.
On the Cusp
Happy news for the start of autumn! My prose poems “She Rattles Dishes” and “Grasslands” have been accepted by On the Cusp for their upcoming fifth issue, scheduled to be released in early October. You can purchase their previous issues HERE.

NANO Fiction’s State of Flash
My article “State of Flash (and Prose Poetry): Why We Write ‘Em!” is going to be featured at NANO Fiction in September, and I’m so excited. For this, I called up a handfull of writer friends and asked them why in the world they write prose poems or flash fiction. The answers I got were wonderful. Also funny, insightful, sometimes frightening, and even lyrical.
Check out Adam Peterson’s “Bylaws of the State of Flash,” the most recent post in NF’s State of Flash series. You may not have known it, but in the State of Flash there are fifty bylaws. And they’re not to be sniffed at.
