The Keener in Chief

 

A professional mourner from Ancient Egypt

A short story of mine is up at Midcult. The word "Keener" comes from the old Irish tradition of Keening, a form of public lamentation at funerals. 

Labor Omnia Vincit

 

"Work Conquers All," is the translation for the title of this new poem of mine in Farewell Transmission. I guess I had either Oklahoma or James Wright on the mind when I wrote it. 

Iceblink and You Might Miss It

 

An Iceblink is a visual effect caused by light reflecting off a mass of ice in the distance near the horizon. It is also the name of a literary publication. A poem of mine, "Floating in the Hive" heads up Issue 8.

Not in ELLE but ELLIE

 

Andrew Jackson won a boxing match and killed the Bank of the United States

Hello all, happy weekend to those who celebrate. Ellie Magazine published a poem of mine, The Independent Treasury. I don't remember why I chose to name it that.
