Why Should the Aged Eagle Stretch its Wings?

There is an Oktoberfest for new poems by me online this week. Something for everybody, as long as they are literate. First, I have a poem up in Welcome to Wherever. Sleet Magazine has also decided they like my words and here's a link to some. Two sites have posted multiple poems of mine. MungBeing, which has been a generous, welcoming home for me, has four of my works, all of them dealing with the theme of costumes. You can read them here, in this place, at this site, and by clicking on this link. Last but not the least, Everyday Other Things has posted a series of poems I write in response to the picture posted on top of them.

In other news, I am putting my other blog on hiatus. The project's not going anywhere, beacuse well, I'm not going anywhere either.

Welcome September 2011!

Enjoy yourselves some poetry and prose, all on me. First up, is a poem of mine in The River. Heyday Magazine's latest issue will have my work in it, so be on the lookout for that. Five poems of mine are also up at Vintage Poetry. Visitors from that site have been coming here so repay the favor and check them out from here.

In non-Nardolilli related news, my muse Jeff Grunthaner has published some poems in Unlikely Stories. Apparently they are pretty racy. I can't seem to access the site at the library.

I also have a short story to read at Eastown Fiction. Just in case you don't like poetry that doesn't rhyme. For you all there is a post up at my other blog as well. A few thoughts on Septembers past and present, that's all.

Funeral Parlors and Facial Hair

Part two of my short story Chaplinesque is up at Squawk Back. It was serialized and this was the final half of the tale. Here is the link to the first part and the second. Another poem is up at Literary Kicks, and it even has poetic responses written underneath.

I also wrote a new post up at my other blog. Hopefully I will get a job soon so I can have something else to write about. I'd like to have the money so I can start writing about looking for an apartment.

A Poem I Think I Forgot to Post

I published a poem at Mouse Tales Press a few months ago, well, here it is for your reading pleasure.

Also, I wrote an essay on writing at my other blog I Don't Wanna Be A Manchild.

The Job Hunt Resumes

I have now returned back to Arlington, Virginia from Italy. It was an interesting experience.

We got into the mood as you can see and really absorbed the local culture and customs. We were determined to fit in and not look like tourists. I even got into a debate with Nietzschean aquatic nymph. Or maybe it was Mark Twain.

And then the former pope John Paul II knocked some sense into me.

I thought it was for this at first:

I didn't care if the Colosseum really held Rome together. But it turns out he was angry with me for being slothful, one of the seven deadly sins. So, I made my confession and swore to find employment of the gainful nature.

You can read about the vow here at my side project, I Don't Want to Be a Manchild.

On an unrelated note, here is a poem by Tom Savage I found amusing. If any of you readers want to send me things to check out and post, whether by you or your loved ones, let me know. I'm always looking to add content.

A New Blogpost, A New Poem, A New Day

I wrote a new post up on my Manchild blog. It is a defense of the liberal arts degree, among other things. Mostly a defense of myself I suppose.

But why should I have to do that? I have a poem that's been up at Poetic Medicine for a while.

Also, according to my stats, I'm apparently big in Mongolia this week.

May So Far

I am a featured poet at Scribble Therapy.

I am in this edition of Kerouac's Dog Magazine (you can pay pounds now to read me)

I have another post up at my anti-Manchild project. Today I received an email and it turns out my first task might come to pass. More details will follow.

Also, I had a weird dream last night where I overdosed on beer and bacon, then shaved off my mustache in a gastropub.

I Don't Wanna Be a Manchild

I'm starting a side project that you all can read about and follow here. Enjoy. Anyone who wants to swap links, I'm down.
