A little more conversation
An interview I conducted with poet-friend Mckendy Fils-Aimé, author of the forthcoming sipèstisyon, will be published this summer in Shō Poetry Journal, where some of his work in that collection had previously appeared. It was really fun to pick his brain about culture and poetry for 2000+ words. Continue reading

Spying a hybrid
Miracle Monocle is a journal of (often-)experimental work at the University of Louisville, and it has accepted one of the hip hop poems. This one takes the form of a frantic police report. Forthcoming in their next issue. Continue reading

Sex, Drugs, & Senryu
Prune Juice, a journal that’s all about experimentation and play with traditional Japanese forms (e.g. haiku, senryu, etc) just accepted one of the hip hop poems for their upcoming issue, which has the theme “sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” It has a title. And is about bounce music. Feel free to clutch your pearls… Continue reading

A word, if you please
Heliosparrow, a great little journal of little poems, has accepted a one-word visual poem of mine. The title is two words, making it longer than the main body text, which tickles me to no end. It’s a monostich, meaning a one-line poem that interacts meaningfully with its title. Continue reading

Looking forward, looking back
I’m not going to do a whole end-of-year summary post, nor an exhaustive looking-forward post. But I just confirmed with Myles Taylor that I’ll be the featured poet at The Boston Poetry Slam on May 6, 2026, which feels nice. The last time I featured there was way back in 2009, doing work that was… Continue reading

Under the wire
Unbroken, a journal dedicated to prose poems under the ambidextrous bloodhound press umbrella, just accepted a dreamscape for their January 2026 issue, which I am happy to say will work out (there is still time to get them in the acknowledgements for the book – which is an ongoing series of discussions with various editors).
