New Poem in Misfit Magazine

My poem “Cherry Dip” now appears in Misfit Magazine, edited by the absolute legend Alan Catlin. The issue is chock full of great poets and friends and I’m delighted to have been included. The poem is about watching a drug bust go down in an otherwise idyllic village downtown in front of an ice cream stand and the weird juxtaposition of the moment. The poem will also appear in my upcoming book Nassau, with more details on that soon.

And if you go to the issue of Misfit and read the Books Received and Acknowledged section, you’ll find a brief review of my book Cistern Latitudes.

My thanks to Alan for including the poem and for giving my last book a quick write-up. And thanks to all of you for reading!

'Terminal' Gets A Nod In Misfit Magazine

The editors at Misfit Magazine included a brief write-up of We Are All Terminal But This Exit Is Mine in their lengthy "Books Received, Reviewed, Acknowledged" section. They point out one particular poem, "Ghost Train," as being a standout, and it's always interesting to me which poems make a mark with people. It's always a different one, for different reasons, and this poem and I go way back so I'm glad it stood out. Take a look at the write-up and scan the section to see who else they've been reading! They also publish a lot of great poets and writers, including Kevin Ridgeway, Megan Jessop, and Holly Day in their current issue, so check that out as well.
