Every River on Earth: Writing from Appalachian Ohio

Posted on by

I recently received happy news of developments in the anthology of southern Ohio literature, edited by poet Neil Carpathios, which will contain three of my poems (two unpublished and one previously published in The Cincinnati Review). The anthology now has a title, Every River on Earth: Writing from Appalachian Ohio, a publisher, Ohio University Press (from my alma mater!), and a publication date of fall 2014.

This will be the first time my writing will be included in an anthology, and I am honored and extremely excited.

Beecher’s 3

Posted on by

Beecher’s issue 3 has just been published and it contains “Incredible Journey” a collaborative prose poem written by me and the poet Dustin Nightingale.

This is a wonderfully designed journal and my photograph above hardly does it justice. The inside is as just a beautiful, with poetry, fiction and nonfiction by writers such as Nate Pritts, Michael Bazzett, Heather Frese, & F. Daniel Rzicznek, as well as drawings, including the embossed image on the cover above, by Brett Millard.

Thank you Ben Cartwright and the other editors of Beecher’s!

Paper Darts

Posted on by

Three of my prose poems have just been published in the online literary journal Paper Darts. You can read them HERE.

There is also a short, five question interview which you can read HERE.

I have adored this gorgeous literary magazine for a long time, and it’s such a please to have my own work appear there. Most of the time when I know my poetry is going to be published with illustration I’m sort of apprehensive. It’s such a difficult thing to do well. With Paper Darts, I was just excited. They have such a beautiful aesthetic and consistently excellent visual taste to go along with the wonderful fiction and poetry they publish. It’s an honor to have my work there.

Thanks so much Courtney Algeo, John Jodzio & the Paper Darts editors!

the minnesota review issue 80

Posted on by

My poems “Single Make Seeks Someone Who’ll Stay” and “Sword Swallowers In Transition” have just been published in issue 80 of the minnesota review.

the minnesota review publishes creative writing alongside literary criticism, and this issue also contains creative work by the likes of Roxane Gay, Dean Rader, Sean Lovelace, & Patty Seyburn (and others). On the critical side there’s a special section on The Medieval Turn in Theory, guest edited by Andrew Cole, with essay titles such as “Derrida’s Noble Unfaith,” “Object-Oriented Mythography,” and ” Death and Texts: Finitude Before Form.” Cool, eh?

The beautiful cover image to this issue is a collage called The Holy Mountain by Marcus McDonald.

Thank you Janell Watson and the editors of the minnesota review!

Painted Bride Quarterly Print Annual 6

Posted on by

Today I received my contributor’s copy of Painted Bride Quarterly Print Annual 6, and it’s a 420 page delight. It contains 2012’s Issues 84-87 of the online journal, including my two poems “This Year Will Be Your Last” and “On Top of an Already Losing Personality” which appeared in Issue 85 (currently unavailable as they’re migrating their content to a new website).

The amount of fine literature in this annual is silly, really, with tons of works by the likes of Matthew Rohrer, Major Jackson, Kathleen Graber, Doug Ramspeck, Mary Austin Speaker, and David Trinidad, to name but a few. You can grab a copy for $15 from the PBQ website.

In the meantime, here’s a picture of Chris Cooper (yes, that Chris Cooper, Academy Award winning actor who played John Laroche in Adaptation, etc.) holding a copy from this year’s AWP. Nifty, eh?
