My friend, the poet Steve Castro, is translating some poems from my second book for a dual Spanish/English reading we’re going to be doing together next year at Syracuse Stage (more on that later!), and I find myself very touched, filled with a warm gratitude that several states away a wonderful poet is turning my little poems into another language, one which sadly I have no facility in. And such an awesome poet as Steve Castro! Everyone should get his poetry book Blue Whale Phenomena published in 2019 by Otis Books!

Steve Castro’s Blue Whale Phenomena
My friend (and former student and fellow poetry editor at decomP) Steve Castro has just had his first poetry book published! It’s called Blue Whale Phenomena and it’s been beautifully designed by Otis Books/Seismicity Editions from Otis College of Art and Design. They’ve published tons of great books, including Forrest Gander’s Panic Cure: Poetry from Spain for the 21st Century. With a truly unique poetic voice and excitement and surprises that unsettle and delight on every page, this book is one to take with you into the forest.
