Hi friends. My poem “Our Beautiful Life When It’s Filled with Shrieks” — a finalist for the 2015 Rattle Poetry Prize — was recently featured on KUSP’s The Poetry Show in Santa Cruz, CA. Host Dennis Morton reads a selection of work from Rattle Issue 50, including a delightful rendition of my poem around minute 24. The last half of the show features samplings from a CD of contemporary Scottish poetry. You can stream or download the episode HERE.
I’m delighted to have received my contributor’s copy of the fall issue of Crab Creek Review, which contains my poem “You Can Keep Your Employee of the Month Award” — in addition to so much great poetry, fiction, and nonfiction. Thanks so much again Martha Silano, Ronda Broatch, and Jenifer Browne Lawrence!
To celebrate, I’ve uploaded to SoundCloud audio of me reading this poem at The Downtown Writer’s Center’s 2015 August Occasion in Clinton, NY.
