Thankfully today’s arctic windstorm hasn’t blown away the mailbox, and I received my contributor’s copy of the new Barrow Street, which contains my poem “The Effect Lasting Half a Minute,” as well as a ton of awesome poems by an amazing list of poets and friends! Huge thank yous to Michael Broek and the other Barrow Street editors and readers!
As the temps drop into the single digits here in sunny Syracuse, I’m warmed by the news that my poem “The Effect Lasting Half a Minute” has just been accepted at Barrow Street! Huge thank yous to Michael Broek and the other Barrow Street editors and readers. This poem’s inspired by, among other things, pumpkin pie, whipped cream, and an episode of the “In Our Time” Podcast about Feathered Dinosaurs, in which we learn the evolutionary function of the wishbone.
My poem “Nobody Is Ever Missing” has just been published in Barrow Street‘s winter 2014/2015 issue.
This issue is full of great poetry, including work by Meg Day, Molly Peacock, Christina Pugh, and more. There’s a poem by the wonderful James Harms called “Umbrella” that nearly made my heart fall down a spiral staircase.
You can grab a copy for ten bucks HERE.
The title of my poem was taken from the last line of John Berryman’s “Dream Song 29.” You can watch a video of him reading his poem HERE.
