Editor Picks @ The Camel Saloon →
My poem, “Magnolias”, published in The Camel Saloon this past April, was picked as an editor favorite (thanks, Russell!), to be placed in Volume 3 of their companion site, The Second Hump. This is great, as front page poems soon fall into the archival abyss, and don’t get read much. You can check out my poem, and other poems by Laura Behr, Amy Soricelli, Brian Wake, Stephen...

Poem on Yellow Mama →
Wow, I’ve been gone a long time from Tumblr. Spent last month traveling through the enchanted Guangxi region of China, and am now back to a busy semester of teaching (I’m up to my eyeballs in student essays!). Anyway, it’s nice to be back.
Here’s a poem dedicated to my mother and late stepfather (link above) just published in the Valentine’s Day issue of Yellow...

See her from the street
the chipped blue paint
white stucco wall
you think the sky
should be gray
a storm blowing in
that she needs a shawl
