• Duplex Gameshow Redux

    Quibble Lit has posted the second half of the Drafts & Crafts gameshow in which I took part. I continue to think they should make shirts that read “Inappropriate Zeugma.” Continue reading

  • Future Gloss

    One of the hip hop poems, “Glosses for Wives,” just got accepted by ONLY POEMS. I’ll be sure to link to it when it goes up on their site. Continue reading

  • Gameshow

    I’m back on Quibble Lit. A month or so ago, I was invited to be a guest on a gameshow recording they made – in short, three of us “draft” words from a pool and are then tasked with writing a duplex (form invented by Jericho Brown) in ten minutes using as many of the… Continue reading

  • Hitting the target

    So, earlier this year I had two poems in Rattle, one in the regular section, and one in the Tribute to Invented Forms section. The editors were pretty sure that’s the first time someone has appeared in both simultaneously. The form I created, the moving target, is for a poem that’s in the hip hop… Continue reading

  • So nice we’re doing it twice

    Mckendy Fils-Aimé and I are reading together (again), this time at Bookery in downtown Manchester, NH on Saturday, August 29 at 5pm. We got a very good response to our co-reading at Reedmor over in Portsmouth earlier this month, so if you or anyone you know wants to settle in for an hour of good… Continue reading

  • Lucky me

    I had alluded in a previous post to two of the hip hop poems being picked up somewhere that hadn’t yet given me the ok to announce it. I’m happy to say those two poems will be published by Lucky Jefferson, and I’ll be sure to link to them (if possible) once that happens. Continue reading

  • winding & whirring

    Quibble Lit’s editor, Garrett Souliere, conducted a video interview with me a couple of weeks ago, and it’s up on Quibble’s substack now. Continue reading

  • On glass and mortality

    I’m a day late putting this here, but one of two poems I had in Rattle #92, “Da mystery of supercooled liquids,” was posted to their website, along with a recording of me reading it. Take a gander. Click the rattle icon a few times. Take heart. Continue reading

  • Coming in August

    First, a quick look back. I had a couple more hip hop poems accepted, but the journal in question hasn’t cleared me making it public yet, so I’ll give that a proper announcement once everything is set to go. I did a video interview with Quibble Lit that might see daylight in August, but it… Continue reading

  • Zooming along

    Next week, on July 28, I’ll be the featured guest at Cobalt Poets, a long-running open mic series that transitioned to Zoom during the pandemic and has remained in that format. Additionally, emcee Rick Lupert will make a digital broadside out of one of my poems for folks to download. Here’s a link to the… Continue reading
