We’re the back cover of the new Denver Quarterly! Holy moly! Friends, I’m over-the-moon to have received contributor copies of the new issue of Denver Quarterly whose theme is collaborative writing. It contains three prose poems I wrote with Dustin Nightingale. And they put one on the back cover! What a thrill! Thank you to Vincent James and everyone at the Denver Quarterly!
Delighted to share the news that the Denver Quarterly just accepted three poems: “Ants Gather at the Puncture,” “Government Wine,” and “Itty Bitty City” — all collaborative prose poems from the series I’ve been writing with Dustin Nightingale.
Massive thank yous to the good editor folks of Bear Review for accepting “Where There Are No People for No Music I Hear Music,” “The Scraping of So Much All Our Breaths,” and “Isn’t This Nice the Way We Stay Awake” — three collaborative prose poems written with Dustin Nightingale.
What a thrill to hold in my hands my contributor copy of They Said: A Multi-Genre Anthology of Contemporary Collaborative Writing just out from Black Lawrence Press. The names on the table of contents make my head spin. Dustin Nightingale and I are absolutely looped to have three of our collaborative prose poems appear in this anthology: âStaring Out a Window Echoing the Actual Moonâ and âAnd Me With Only a Bottle Opener in My Pocketâ first published in DIAGRAM, and âI Fear We Have Made a Terrible Mistakeâ first published in Two Peach. Thank you to the editors who initially published these and to Simone Muench, Dean Rader, Sally Ashton, and Jackie White for including us in this amazing volume.

Johnson and more! A thousand thousand thanks to Marcus Wicker, Ron Mitchell, and the rest of the good folks at SIR!
