Rattle proper
Tim Green made mention of this on RattleCast last night, but I’m just posting about it here now: after having poems selected for Poets Respond and the monthly Prompts, I’m going to have a poem in the actual print version of Rattle. Oddly enough, this one isn’t quite connected to any of my larger manuscripts… Continue reading

Let the Wild Rumpus begin
The Rumpus, one of my favorite journals, just accepted two of the hip hop poems. One is a dictionary entry, the other a sudo-ku, a form pioneered by Kat Lehmann. Continue reading

Closing out November with something small
Password: the journal of very short poetry just accepted two (do I even need to say the next word?) short poems of mine today, including one that’s kind of a three-column contrapuntal variation. They’ll appear in issue 3.1, hopefully February 2026. Continue reading

Missed updates
A while back, brand-new journal Opol published three of my poems. Earlier this month, the editor was kind enough to nominate one of them for a Pushcart. And I just got word that that poem will appear in the quarterly, downloadable, purchasable edition in mid-December. Many thanks to Venessa! Continue reading

Dreams as (un)missed messages
Yeaaaars ago, I sent a poem to voicemail poems that didn’t get in. I’ve continued to enjoy the work they do over there and recently took a second shot, this time with one of the dreamscapes. It just got accepted earlier tonight, so expect a second post this month when the issue goes live. Continue reading

The manuscript of which they’re part is sitting at 64 pages (I’ve pared it down over the past year from an original “production” of about 120 dreamscapes), and this very nice publication-to-be means that over a third of the poems are… Continue reading

Fired up over Sūdō
Sūdō Journal has accepted a poem of mine called “you’ll forget it’s arson” for its upcoming issue. This poem isn’t part of any of the collections in progress, just a reaction to the news this year, but I’m looking forward to reading it some coming week at Slam Free or Die (going to have to… Continue reading

Lightning strikes twice
I’m back on Rattle’s website! This time my poem “Stormchaser” was selected as the Prompt Poem of the Month for July and was published today. This one was written in response to a prompt asking poets to utilize Michael Theune’s Structure and Surprise book or website, which was kind of an interesting connection for me,… Continue reading
