I’m really just blown away by the attention my Gold Wake Press chapbook EXIT STRATEGIES has garnered lately. Atticus Review has kindly chosen to feature the first three in the videopoem series Swoon and I collaborated on, along with our notes on the project. Please join us as we hide from wolves, ravenous seas, and the hulking masses towering across the skyline. Good Friday fun for the whole family, in other words. GO!
I’m excited to announce that Red Ceilings Press has released an official limited edition of my chapbook, A SOFT THAT TOUCHES DOWN &REMOVES ITSELF. This limited edition is a pretty little A6 pocket size version expanded with a few new poems and a spiffy redesigned cover by Miles Donovan.
This is a limited run of 40. I have about half of those here. So, let’s sweeten it: if you’re in the US, send me $5.50 and I’ll send you a chapbook along with a spiffy postcard featuring the heart artwork on one side and a handwritten poem on the other.

Specter has published my review of Robert Kloss’s Nephew title, HOW THE DAYS OF LOVE & DIPHTHERIA.
“…a dense canvas of a particularly dark and intense kind. Its pages are rife with death and disease; with flesh and with fire; with ghosts and distrust; with the weight of destruction, longing, suffering, and absolute love in the face of all of this, coexistent on every page.”

My words, SONGS NO ONE COLLECTS ARE SONGS FOR A FUTURE, are happy to be included among the many wonderful sets of words that have gathered to form Mud Luscious, Issue Seventeen. Do stop by and shake their hands; these words would like a chance to read you better. My undying gratitude as always to J. A. Tyler and Andrew Borgstrom, two of the finest editors any words can know.
Nic Sebastian, Kathy McTavish, and Marc Swoon Bildos Neys have released the latest videopoem triptych, PROPOLIS, featuring poems by Donna Vorreyer, Lisa Cihlar, and me. Some might recognize my piece, THE LIGHTS ARE ON IN THE MUSEUM, as part of a piece Mud Luscious was kind in publishing some months ago. Thank you to all involved in this. I am indeed honored.

Last but not least, Red Ceilings Press has posted 3 poems inspired by a call from Mark Cobley for work regarding “the edge of a sneeze.” Thanks, Mark! see: RED CEILINGS PRESS
