A Poem As It Ought to Be

A poem of mine is in the literary journal As It Ought To Be Magazine. It comes from my time as a paralegal dealing with clients from upstate New York. The name of the poem is "Large Bull Thistle" which is also what the name of Chenango County translates to.

St. Patrick in Prospect Park

Celebrate St. Patrick's Day a month early, with another poem of mine up at the Rye Whiskey Review.

New Year, New Poems

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

Is now up at Allegro Poetry Magazine. Who says you can't make art out of spam trying to get you to buy real estate.

Another Minor Festival

A new poem in the Blue Tiger. I believe it's the first time I've been published on a website based in China. I think.

Do Yourself a Favor and Read This Poem

A special poem in a special issue of The Raven Review. The name of the poem is Do Yourself a Favor. The author...well surely you know, right?

These Literary Works Can Hit My Backchannels All Night Long

A Bleached Butterfly Has Come Out from Its Cocoon

I also have another poem at the Rye Whiskey Review.

Enjoy!

Pay Attention to this Update

Issue 23 of Really System is out, including a work by me. It's a poem. The way it works is you just go line by line to the last one. That's what we call the end.

Come See and Hear Me Read! (And some other people...)

So I'll be reading at Unnameable Books this Thursday. The reading will be part of a series to promote the release of Christine Stoddard's book launch for Desert Fox by the Sea. It'll probably be poems, but who knows. Maybe I'll read a Death Compromise from work, and then expound on how a poem is like asbestos, but good. The best of asbestos? Other readers include Jeanne Joe Perrone and Lana C. Marilyn.

You Don't Actually Have to Drink to Read My Poem "A Treatment"

But it probably helps when going through the blog that published it, Drinker's Only

A JAB of Poetry

JAB Fiction and Poetry has published a poem of mine, "Caroline's Crash." It's right there at the top of the poetry page. Will it remain there for long? Who knows. The artwork is not by me and I can't seem to find whose it is.

A Minor Festival...

...awaits you over at the Rye Whiskey Review, where my poem Festival Minor was published. There's also a young picture of me back when I called New Jersey home.
