Posted on by

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: “Staring Out a Window Echoing the Actual Moon” and “And Me With Only a Bottle Opener in My Pocket” first published in DIAGRAM, and “I Fear We Have Made a Terrible Mistake” 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.

Ghost Woodpecker by Dustin Nightingale Published by BatCat Press

Posted on by

My friend and poetry collaborator Dustin Nightingale’s chapbook Ghost Woodpecker has just been published by BatCat Press. It’s his first book and it’s one of those you’ll want to hold close to your skin, like under your shirt when it starts to rain. The poems are very, very short. They’ll break your heart, make you laugh, and provide you with the kind of dirty light we need to navigate our subterranean corridors. This letter-pressed volume, handset with vintage metal type, hand-printed and -bound, features a different found film slide embedded in the cover of each unique copy. So it’s also a work of art on that level.
