LIONTAMER'S BLUES

A very cool review of HEAVY FEATHER REVIEW 2.1 calls it“experimental, humorous, dark, heartbreaking,” adding that “each piece holds so much to be savoured and absorbed.”

The reviewer, Jen Faulkner, had some particularly nice things to say about my piece, HOW EVERY LIVING THING IS IN ITSELF A HOUSE ON FIRE as well, calling it “possibly my favourite poem in this issue.”

Yes, get a copy if you have not yet done so!

Love for Halloweens past (it’s never too late), courtesy of the ever most awesome Beach Sloth. Both “13” and its sequel, “TH1RT3EN: REAN1MAT3D” (artistically declined press), are covered in the way only Beachy can.

My chapbook, DEVIL’S INSTANT COFFEE is now available free online from Right Hand Pointing. DEVIL’S INSTANT COFFEE is the co-winner of the 2012 Right Hand Pointing chapbook contest. I’m beyond pleased to share this with you. Thank you, Dale Wisely. And Special thanks to Keith Higginbotham, who provided early inspiration to many of these poems, as mentioned in the book. Pass it on!
