Poets, Looking for a Place to Send Rejected Work?

Then send it to Bay Laurel. They published some poems of mine in their latest issue.

A Poem Published by Brits

Look, if you're going to try and take tiger mountain by strategy, then you're going to need Key Tiger Dialogue.

Let's Just Say This Is In Honor of National Poetry Month

Thanks to Jeremiah Walton, I have a poem up at his guest blog called "A Clip Show."

And thanks to Tina Hall, I have a poem in Van Gogh's Ear. Inhabitants of Falls Church may enjoy it.

There are also two poems of mine in Yellow Mama, for good measure.

With Apologies to Arshile Gorky

I have a new poem up at Collective Exile, titled "The Adventures of Colonel Saturday Night." With Saturday night in the title, you know it's going to be crazy!

I Am Not an Animal I Am a Human Being...

Who just happens to have a poem up at Humanimalz. You can read it here. It is sincere.

When the Hard Meets the Moist

That would make a lovely titled for a volume of my poem, wouldn't it? "When the Hard Meets the Moist: Collected Poems by Ben Nardolilli 1979 - 2005." Or it could be the title of my Memoirs. "When the Hard Meets the Moist, Ben Nardolilli in Montclair, New Jersey." Either way, I'd have to clear the title with Walter Ruhlmann. His latest collection of poems from other authors (including me) is out.

MungBeing has three poems of mine about books. It's the theme of their latest issue.

Not Waving but Drowning in My Own Fears

In honor of National Poetry Month here's a poem that I wrote. You can't see it here. You have to go to Drown in My Own Fears.  In terms of genesis, this one I think I can explain. I was inspired by the Wichita Vortex Sutra. I obviously expanded on a theme form there, sort of the same way the classical composers would work off one another's opuses. It might have been a cut-up. I'm not sure. It's been a while and I've written a hell of a lot of poetry since then. Roughly 3,500 pages. Anyway, read what I've linked to and enjoy it, or be disgusted, either way be MOVED by it people.

Make a Poem Noise Happen Here

Has just published a new poem of mine, "Nowhere Skylight"

A Message from Bank of America

I guess it lends a whole new meaning to the phrase: "Too big to fail." Also, judging from the picture it looks like Brian Moynihan really let himself go. Or Charles Holliday.

Stare Deeply Into the Cosomos

With a new poem published in the Social Poet. In case you need a little time to think about what you find, there's a poem for that too.

Here's a Picture of the New Pope

Francis I, long may he reign!

Take a Little Time to Think

...with this poem I wrote for The Social Poet

Tea Leaves? Read the Leaves of Ink Instead

Put down your tasseography, stop it with the tasseomancy, and stay away from any more tassology, read a poem I wrote posted at Leaves of Ink earlier this month.

Terry Gilliam Needs Money

Specifically, MY money. I guess he still hasn't recouped his losses from the Adventures of Baron Munchausen.

Buy My Book (Part Deux)

Go to issuu, go to calameo, go to Lulu, and what will you find? Copies of my brand new poetry chapbook, Defense Mechanisms and Other People's Poems. Thanks to my editor Walter Ruhlmann of mgv2>publishing.

This collection of poem features original work by me loosely organized around a search for personal truth and satisfaction against a world of changing fortunes. You know, heady stuff (not to be confused though with Heidi Stüff). It also includes work by other poets in addition to mine:

Jeff Grunthaner
Shenan Prestwich
Michael Damilola Aderibigbe
Joanna C. Valente
