“One Push on Top Is All it Takes” in Passages North

Over-the-moon to receive my contributor copies of Passages North No. 39, which contains my poem “One Push on Top Is All it Takes.” I can’t wait to settle in and explore this amazing issue, packed with the likes of such favorites as Stephanie Bryant Anderson, Cortney Lamar Charleston, Leila Chatti, Jessica Cuello, Chelsea Hrechuk Dingman, Norman Dubie, Meghan Lamb, Kyle McCord, Anne Panning, Jericho Parms, and S. Jane Sloat to name a few.

It’s a special treat to be published in Passages North a second time, since they were kind enough to give my lyric essay “Each Breeze Began Life Somewhere As a Little Cough” a home last year as online Bonus Content.

Huge thank yous to Patricia Killelea, Willow Grosz and the rest of PN’s editors and readers!

Lyric Essay “Each Breeze Began Life Somewhere As a Little Cough” Published Online at Passages North

I’m super excited to share the news that my lyric essay “Each Breeze Began Life Somewhere As a Little Cough” has been published online at Passages North. Since last autumn I’ve been working on a series of lyric essays, one for each of the four classical elements, and this is the first one that I finished. It’s the air essay. As I begin work on the final one (fire) it’s awesome to have the first one meet the light of day. Massive thanks to Willow Grosz, Brandon Hansen, Matthew Gavin Frank, and all the folks at PN! And special thanks to my awesome partner Sarah for allowing me to record her for this essay. 🙂
