Low Risk Fuel

First blog post coming at you all from quarantine. To be honest, it feels like when I lived in New Jersey. Staying indoors and glued to screens. Nevertheless, the poetry has persisted. Here is a poem just published in As It Ought to Be Magazine,

Special Offer on the World's Fare

This poem is more than just a special offer (it's free like all the others I post here), it's the name of the piece itself. Read the poem and then move on to the rest of the venue it's published in, Ephemeral Elegies (the poetry of emotion).

New year and new decade (the twenties start in 2020, don't @ me) Two poems of mine are in Sleet Magazine's Millennial Edition. The second one I wrote while taking the Empire Builder (pictured above).

As Online, so in Real Life (or Not)

Two more poems to share with you. The first is in the Rye Whiskey Review. That place is quickly becoming a satellite of this blog. But I can't complain. Exposure is exposure, unless its northern. In addition to this poem, there's another in As Above, So Below. The theme of the current issue is freedom/imprisonment. My works are called "The Prison State" and "The Price of a Gazebo."

Celebrating the Work of Benjamin Nordolilli

Really enjoying this poem "The Lunar Gemini" in the Poetica Review. It's by an up and coming poet named Ben Nordolilli. I don't know what it is, but there's something about the language I like. It seems...so familiar. Overall, I hope you enjoy his work here and be on the look out for more of it!

My Scheme

Another Minor Festival
