NANO Fiction’s State of Flash

Posted on by

My article “State of Flash (and Prose Poetry): Why We Write ‘Em!” is going to be featured at NANO Fiction in September, and I’m so excited. For this, I called up a handfull of writer friends and asked them why in the world they write prose poems or flash fiction. The answers I got were wonderful. Also funny, insightful, sometimes frightening, and even lyrical.

Check out Adam Peterson’s “Bylaws of the State of Flash,” the most recent post in NF’s State of Flash series. You may not have known it, but in the State of Flash there are fifty bylaws. And they’re not to be sniffed at.

Yemassee, Yes!

Posted on by

I just received news that Yemassee has accepted for their next issue a collaborative prose poem from a series written with my friend the poet Dustin Nightingale. This is the first of our collaborations to find a home, and we’re jazzed. Seriously. The poem, by the way, is called “Little Buzzings,” and it’s sort of about fruit flies…among other things.

Dustin doesn’t have a webpage, but you can read one of his poems in Stickman Review, and you can hear him read several poems on this episode of my old radio show The Poets Weave.

Used Furniture Review & NAP

Posted on by

Used Furniture Review and NAP have both accepted poems for publication, and I’m spinning around for joy in the falling cottonwood fluff.

NAP has taken a nature-y poem for its upcoming special issue of nature poems about nature titled, appropriately, LOG.

UFR has taken a group of poems from a series I’ve been working on a for a while called The Little Book of Monsters.

Boo.

Cellpoems

Cellpoems, the “poetry journal distributed via text message” has just accepted my very short poem “Me in My Place.” This wonderful journal has been publishing one poem a week since 2009. You can subscribe to recieve the text messages here, or visit the main page to read them online. Their archive includes poems by Charles Simic, Matthew Rohrer, Erika Meitner,  and Sherman Alexie to name but a few! The New Yorker had an article about the journal last year which you can read here.

Crate Magazine & The Reprint

Posted on by

Coinciding with the return of warm weather here in Syracuse, I recently learned that University of California-Riverside’s Crate Magazine will publish my poem “(They Were) There All the Time” in their forthcoming issue.

I’m also happy to report that two of my poems have been accepted to appear in The Reprint. This online journal only publishes work which has already appeared in print and is unavailable online, and they’ll be bringing to the digital world poems of mine which originally appeared in Permafrost and The Cincinnati Review. You can check out their five issues so far — each illustrated with works by a single artist, all of whom are wonderful! — including stories by Roxane Gay, Amelia Gray, Barry Yourgrau, and Kim Chinquee (whose piece is introduced with an amazing image by Pamela Wilson).
