Acoustic and Electric

A poem of mine is up at Litsnack, where the motto is "Easy in. Easy out. Nobody gets hurt."

GET OUT AND VOTE!

Okay, I have three poems that are up for the 3Cheers Winter 2010 contest. If I win, they will turn my work into a video. So, go to the site, vote for the other poems, but be sure to scroll down and vote for mine!

Also, is there anyone interested in reading a poetry manuscript that I am planning to enter for the Hudson Prize? I will repay the favor with a manuscript swap. The only caveat is that it would have to be done soon.

A Leaf on a Stray Branch

Well, not much else to report on the home front but another venue to observe my poetry is up. The Stray Branch can be viewed here, or it can be purchased here. I am on page 58-59. That's right, I'm spread out.

Other than that, it is a beautiful day out, which I only enjoy briefly while going to get the mail. I'm tired from the weekend still, a mammoth of a trip to Columbia Heights and back, along with chemical excursions into the unknown. But I am recovering. Eggs and coffee always helps. I did some calculations and I realized it's been 7 months since my last hair cut. To be fair, the last time I had my hair cut I also had everything shaves, including a nascent beard.

Now, I am back to looking Biblical.

To Ease Me In

First off, here is a small interview with me in Survival By Storytelling in case you want to delve deeper into my spiritual/gray matter.

I have a poem up in the latest issue of Physiognomy in Letters

The Puritan has been ever so kind to put up three of my poems in their magazine

And lastly, for your listening pleasure, hurdy-gurdy man

Storytime!

Well, for a change of pace, here is no verse, but prose instead. A short story of mine is in the latest edition of ESC! Magazine, in fact it leads the whole thing. It is titled, The Heathen Chronicles. Read on!

An Introduction to Poetry

A poem of mine is up at amphibi.us, based on a poetry class I took THREE FRIGGIN' years ago. Spring semester 2007, ah so far away it now seems. Though overall experience was educational for me reading poems about nothing more than bodily harm got old. The highlight of the class was at the end, watching Il Postino and drinking wine, then going to a bar afterwards.

Versify While You Work

A new poem is up at Work Literary Magazine. Read it and enjoy. I know you DC area folks have time on your hands. Out in Arlington we have 24 inches of snow.

More Things of Mine to Stare At

I have a poem hidden inside the folds of the Hidden City Quarterly Winter issue. Don't be afraid to look around, it won't bite your cursor. Also, I have a poem up at Black-Listed Magazine, with more to follow.

My Words Uncrumpled

Three short poems up at unFold. They won't take up too much of your time. I promise.

Lines Scribbled on the Gate of Hell

Two poems of mine are up at the Hell Gate Review. One is entitled "When the Rain Comes" and the other is called "The Millennials," a shout-out of sorts for today's generation of which I am a part. I prefer that term to Generation (or Gen) Y, unless you want to say Generation Why? But that's not much better. The "Millennials" has much more of a, well, millennialist tone to it.

My Last Year Begins on Page 14

I'm in this collection issued by the South Jersey Underground that is composed of their contributors reflecting on the end of the month/year/decade/aughts. I hope you enjoy it. Like the title says, my epic, MMIX, is on page 14 and goes until page 15.
