Uppagus #25

Another publication from back in the mists of 2017 – this longer poem featured in Uppagus during a time when I evidently wasn’t checking my email carefully!

Three Poems by Rilke

These three translations of Rilke were in the pipeline to be published at Plume for a while, and apparently I missed the big event when it happened, so I’m posting them here now. Rilke can take the credit if they please, and I’ll take the blame if they don’t, etc.!

Big Lucks

Following a (seemingly) incredible long hiatus during which I was doing my first two years as a teacher, I am back! And just in time for the publication of one of my old stories, and one I’m particularly partial to, “Bud Powell, Composed in Four Elements”. It’s weird as hell and just posted at Big Lucks magazine. Hope you fine folks enjoy it. Here is a cool album cover, while you’re at it.

The Rotary Dial Issue 39

Hello old pals! It has been a long time since the last one of these. I am now a first-year English teacher and the publishing game has perceptibly slipped! Summer is coming soon, and I will be back on the horse. Here’s an oldish one that just came out in this month’s Rotary Dial. About Donald Rumsfeld. Kind of. You can get it here for a mere buck.

Also, as always, I love Canada. Thanks Canada
