Looks like Bucky’s getting a bit tired of all these Gonch messages. But he perseveres.
Gnarled Oak #15 compilation published
The final issue of Gnarled Oak has been compiled as online and PDF issues, available free at the journal’s web page. Titled Walking through Clouds, this is issue number 15. The editor has been slowly publishing the contents piece by piece over the last month or so, and now the issue is complete. I’m pleased to say it includes my short video poem “Crushed Bits” alongside the textual micropoetry and microfiction. Short reads for your lazy summer dayz.

Starbuck “Bucky” Leone with another Gonch message for the world.
“Love in Space” published at Horror Sleaze Trash
Online literature and underground culture journal Horror Sleaze Trash published my science fiction story “Love in Space” today. This is one of a few pieces featuring the character Jean Savage. This one should come with some kind of trigger warning for the extreme sexual situations, but there is a deeper literary purpose. You can read it here.
It’s kind of funny how the editor dug up that photo from an Internet search. One never knows the things that are floating around out there.

“Prayers of the Day” in Poetry Pacific
Just noticed that issue 7.1 of online poetry journal Poetry Pacific was released on May 5. This one includes my poem “Prayers of the Day.” You can check it out here.
“Joys of Doggerland and 5 other poems in Word for/Word
Online literary journal focuses on experimental visual and text works. The new issue #31 is out. I’m pleased to be part of this one with six poems: “Joys of Doggerland,” “Dimming of the Haruspex,” “Standing Stone,” “Electromagnetic Pulse,” “Efface the New Caesar,” and “Cold Fortress.” You can read them here.
All these pieces are based on various lost cities or civilizations around the world. This series was inspired by current US affairs, which really made me think about the fragility of languages, cultures and nations.
“Rabbit Lies Scheming” in Mad Swirl
I’m pleased to announce that online poetry journal Mad Swirl published my poem “Rabbit Lies Scheming” today. You can read it here.
I wrote a few poems with a trickster rabbit as a main character–not so much inspired by Bugs Bunny as the Mayan Rabbit. In this one, Rabbit plots a hold-up, “dreaming of a better life so you won’t have to.”
“No Love Like the Sun” in Night Garden Journal
An online publication, Night Garden Journal (formerly Black Poppy Review) focuses on darker poetry. I’m pleased to report that my poem “No Love Like the Sun” appeared in the journal today. You can read it here.
