I’m delighted to learn that Moon City Review has accepted my poem “Having Grown Inland I Can Make of Boats What I Wish.” This was written after a solitary walk down to Inkwell Beach late one night from the faculty house at the last in person Martha’s Vineyard Institute of Creative Writing. A big starlit sky. Lights of little boats in the distance. A water bottle filled with bourbon and orange juice… Thank you Sara Burge and everyone at MCR!

“The Island Designated Yes,” a prose poem I co-wrote with Dustin Nightingale, has just been published online at The Shore.
It’s very short. It’s a love poem. And it mentions indigo cherry drops which are tomatoes we grow every year and taste like when funk songs mention sunshine. I hope you enjoy it.
Huge thank yous to editors Caroline Chavatel, Emma DePanise, John A. Nieves!
