“The Island Designated Yes” published at The Shore!

“The Island Designated Yes,” a prose poem I co-wrote with Dustin Nightingale, has just been published online at The Shore.

It’s very short. It’s a love poem. And it mentions indigo cherry drops which are tomatoes we grow every year and taste like when funk songs mention sunshine. I hope you enjoy it.

Huge thank yous to editors Caroline Chavatel, Emma DePanise, John A. Nieves!

“The Shape the Air Makes Between Us” Accepted at the North American Review!

I’m delighted to share the news that my poem “The Shape the Air Makes Between Us” has just been accepted by North American Review. Thank you J D Schraffenberger and the rest of the NAR crew! This poem mentions the amazing sculpture from 1993 “House” by the amazing artist Rachel Whiteread. She filled a three story house with concrete then removed the house part.

The video of yesterday’s “Hybrid Forms Collaborations — Reading and Discussion” event is now available. Dustin Nightingale and I read some of our collaborative prose poems (for the first time ever live!), along with awesome readings by Aimee Parkison & Carol Guess and (hosts) Meg Pokrass & Jeff Friedman. Plus there’s an inspiring Q & A. Yay collaborative writing! 😀😀
