Circa just put out their summer issue, containing three of my poems: shazam. The first is a translation of Rimbaud’s “Le Dormeur du val”, the second a piece I wrote after watching John Cassavetes’ The Killing of a Chinese Bookie, and the third a little sketch of our old French-Canadian landlord. More to come in the next couple of days!
Pacifica have just rolled out their new website and with it their new issue, into which I managed to sneak a poem written while I was working on Afterworks, and a more recent translation of a Rimbaud poem (about Napoleon III’s disappointed career ambitions, of all things). The former is still available to read on the new website, which is very pretty. The latter you’ll have to cough up for. The launch party got a nice write-up in Seattle’s The Stranger.
The new issue of The Round, a student-run magazine at Brown University, just came out and it includes another of the ekphrasis poems I wrote around the time I was putting together Afterworks. You can view it online for free here.
This magazine is awesome. They dedicate most of their space to graphic art, but they also do a lot of multimedia stuff, mixing art with writing. Their latest issue is free to download, well worth taking a look.
The good people of 94 Creations, an on-the-up Louisville journal, have decided to pay their contributors. What better excuse to purchase a quality literary publication? You get to read a heap of great writing, plus you have the satisfaction of knowing that if my shoes wear out, I’ll have money for new ones. It’s available to order from Amazon. For more information, head to the source: 94 Creations.
The new issue of RiverLit will feature one of my recent poems, 306. For the next week, it’s available for pre-order at a reduced price.
You can now download a free PDF of the latest offering from Electric Windmill Press, featuring three of my poems, including a translation of “Spleen” from Baudelaire’s Fleurs du mal. The print version will be available in May.
The new issue of Whisperings from Mountain Tales Press just hit the shelves, and it features the first eight poems of Afterworks, a series of twenty-five ekphrasis poems. You can order the new issue in both digital and print forms via Magcloud. The plan is to serialise all twenty-five poems from the chapbook in Whisperings, so watch this space in the coming months for more material.
