Received my contributor’s copy of Crate Literary Magazine today and it’s a beauty. It contains my poem “(They Were) There All the Time,” and fantastic work by the likes of Keith Dunlop, Kristin Abraham, and many others including three knock out poems by fellow IU MFA student Bethany Carlson. The cover was created by artist Jen Lau. You can pick up a copy here. Thanks Crate!
My poem “Done Playing Hard To Get” has just been published online at The Nervous Breakdown. My cup runneth youknowhow.
Architrave Press has just published my poem “Happy Birthday to Me” as a limited edition broadside of 250 copies. If you don’t know, a broadside is a single sheet of paper, basically a poster, printed on one side. This is the first one I have ever had published. And yes, I am psyched.
Architrave Press is located in St. Louis, MO, and publishes poems as individual broadsides (5.5″ x 8″ 100lb archival card stock) which are letterpress printed the old fashioned way. They are sold individually or in series. My poem is the first one in Edition 2.
You can read my poem online for free HERE.
If you want, you can buy a broadside (simultaneously blowing my mind and supporting a fantastic new press) by going HERE. It costs $3.50, S&H included, via PayPal.
If you’re feeling particularly frisky, you can purchase the entire Edition 2, which includes mine as well as wonderful poems by gaye gambell-peterson, Michael Bazzett, Michael Hettich, Kejt Walsh, Meagan Gamble, Claudia Torres, Shane Seely, Ray Holmes, and Kristen Elde., for $27.50 HERE.
The excellent folks over at Pank have published a short interview with me about my poems published in Pank last November. Including musical accompaniment. Thanks J. Bradley & Pank!

I recently received my contributor’s copy of the new issue of Forklift, Ohio in the mail. It contains my poems “All Purpose Me” and “The Wrestling Coach Taught Us Health” along with the usual gathering of amazing writers, including new poems by the great Mary Ruefle. The generous and wonderful people behind this journal also included a carpenter’s pencil, corkscrew, and copies of the Forklift, Ink chapbooks Touch Monkey by Stuart Dischell (which I sat down to sample and couldn’t stop myself reading all the way through) and The Dept. of Ephebic Dreamery by Darcie Dennigan. I’ve never before had the opportunity to uncork a journal in order to read it (yes, that’s an actual cork sticking through the magazine in the upper right corner, avec wine stained tip). Thanks Matt Hart and the Forklift, Ohio vintners!
Issue 9 of the online journal Superstition Review has just launched, and along with a wonderful collection of poetry, fiction, nonfiction, interviews, and visual art, you can find four of my poems here. Thank you Superstition Review!
I just received my contributor copies of the new Tar River Poetry, V51N2 Spring 2012. It’s a stunning issue. Thanks Tar River Poetry!
I recently received my contributor copy of NANO Fiction Vol 5 No 1, and it’s a beauty, complete with the sexiest honey bees you’ve ever seen. This journal contains a ton of amazing flash fiction and prose poetry, all within a sleek, aesthetically pleasing trim volume. This journal really is a pleasure to read, not least because of its size, layout, font, and general look. If you’re interested, you can buy a copy here — but do not delay as their issues invariably sell out.
Fourteen Hills Volume 18.1 has recently been published, and, along with an amazing selection of poetry, fiction, and art, it contains my poem “These Summer Nights in December.” Should you wish, you can purchase a copy from SPD here.
