I’m delighted to share that my prose poem “The Council” appears in Bayou Magazine‘s inaugural online issue. This piece is a satirical, surreal take on institutional bureaucracy: coffins for chairs, snails as metaphors, and the strange rituals of committee life.
Huge thanks to Carolyn Hembree and the Bayou team for giving this piece a home, and for launching their first online issue with such care and vision.
My poem, “Through the Window,” appears in the new issue of South Carolina Review. I just received these beautiful contributor’s copies, which look jam-packed with great writing. Can’t wait to dive into the rest of the issue. Big, heartfelt thanks to Editor Elizabeth Stansell and her team! ❤️
Friends, my prose poem, “On the Lido Deck Before Sunrise,” appears in the new issue of Witness. I’m delighted the piece found such a wonderful home. Huge thanks to the editors!
My prose poem “After the Date,” which appeared in print issue 25 of New Ohio Review, has been republished online. Thanks to the lovely NOR editors! Always such a pleasure to connect with them!
