A while back I was interviewed about poems from my first book The Maintenance of the Shimmy-Shammy for Where It’s At with Bob Early. The episode just went live. Thanks again to Bob for inviting me to talk about my work. I hope you all enjoy listening.

On this cool gray rainy October day it’s a delight to share the news that my poems “Elegy for the Travel Agents” and “Beaver Lake” have been accepted at the Southern Indiana Review! Thank you SIR for this most welcome birthday news!
Ahoy there friends! Ghost Ocean 19 has just been published and it includes a prose poem I wrote collaboratively with Dustin Nightingale – “In This Version a Suspension Bridge in Every Shot.” There’s also audio of us reading the poem – we sound sedated, but really we were just tired from a long day. Thanks so much Editor Heather Cox!

I had to reread the email 20 times to make sure it was real…and apparently it is. I’m elated to announce that The Missouri Review has accepted six of my poems. I’ll be one of their featured poets in an upcoming issue. I’m going to try to calm down now. Here’s a picture of some wind turbines.
“I Haven’t Seen You in 13 Years and You Show Up Blind and So Do I” — A collaborative prose poem I wrote with Dustin Nightingale — has just been published at Barnstorm, complete with seriously awesome artwork (by Michael McConnell) and audio of me and Dustin reading the poem. Thanks a million poetry editors Stephen Brand & Katie Brunero!
