I’m proud to have three poems included in Volume 13, Issue 2-3 of Moria alongside so many of my favorite contemporary poets. Mark Young, Raymond Farr, and Sheila Murphy are legendary. David James Miller’s piece just shuts my mouth. Everything in this issue is brilliant. I thank William Allegrezza for allowing my work to be a part of it.

FACT: Psychic Meatloaf is brilliant. FACT: Issue 3 is even more brilliant because its cover boasts a multi-colored, melancholic bear. FACT: Editor, George McKim is a visionary. FACT: My poems BLUES SONG, and THIRTY FIVE DOLLAR HOLLYWOOD are included among such fantastic poets as SJ Fowler, Peter Schwartz, Ray Succre, and Raymond Farr. There isn’t a questionable one in the bunch.

Nic Sebastian has once again amply sprinkled her personal brand of exquisite upon my inner dialect. Nic chose a piece originally published by the incredible Calliope Nerve, titled “&,” and did it a justice I will leave to you to decide if the original earns. My gratitude to Ms. Sebastian, of course.
