“Setting Things Around Me Free” in Red Paint Hill

My poem “Setting Things Around Me Free” has been published today online in Red Paint Hill Poetry Journal issue 10. It’s another collaborative prose poem in the series I’ve been writing with Dustin Nightingale. There’s audio of us reading the poem. We tried something different this time and each read it separately. I recorded Dustin reading over the phone. He asked me to put phone noises at the start of his version so people would know. It’s a beautiful issue as always packed with fantastic poetry and we’re jazzed to be a part of it — thank you Editor Stephanie Bryant Anderson and the whole Red Paint Hill Publishing crew!

Read and listen to the poem HERE.

The downside – this is what spring looks like in Syracuse right now.

The upside – thank you to Ruth Foley and the other editors of the Cider Press Review for accepting my poem “But I Live Here (Empty Place).”

And thank you to Ian Haver and the staff of JuxtaProse Literary Magazine for accepting “Gluing the Teapot Back Together Anyway” and “Run for Your Life but Don’t Forget to Tie Your Shoes” – two of the collaborative prose poems I’ve been writing with Dustin Nightingale.
