Video still “Emit Damage” in H&

“Future Dragons” in Black Poppy Review
Today, Black Poppy Review published my poem “Future Dragons.” This very recent piece is a rather baroque look at sea serpents living with modern indifference to their magic. You can read the complete poem here.

“A Short History of Time” published by In Between Hangovers
Underground poetry blog In Between Hangovers keeps dropping that outlaw poetry, several posts a day, day after day. Today, another of my poems got the treatment; this one’s called “A Short History of Time.” You can read it here.
“128 Words for Lies” in Clockwise Cat
The “Klox and Katz Ink” issue of Clockwise Cat, number 38, was released sometime last week. I just learned it was available on Yumpu. A freewheeling literary magazine featuring leftist rants, pictures of street art murals, and a big poetry selection, Clockwise Cat #38 also includes my poem “128 Words for Lies” spread across pages 65-66. You can read the issue here.
Flashback: One poem in Shattered Wig Review
That time I (finally) got a poem published in Baltimore’s Shattered Wig Review, a journal based out of Normal’s Bookstore (at the time), landing in Issue #17. “Folie a Deux” was one of my best pieces, IMHO. The whole issue is over the top with collages, pieces by Blaster Al Ackerman (fiction and art, plus photos of the man himself!), Batworth, Mok Hosfeld, John Bennett, and editor Rupert Wondolowski, as well as “Pretty Beaver” cartoons by my friends Mary Knott and Beppi, among lots of other wild stuff. No date on the rag, but this was definitely circa 1996.
Video still published in H&
