Howdy! Here’s a video of me and Steve Castro reading our poems for last Sunday’s Poetry + Play event at Syracuse Stage. Steve reads his poems in Spanish and I read his English translations of them.

“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!
