  • November news

    A few things!

    • My next small collection, Elegies & Devotions, is in the final editing stage and should be released by Kelsay Books in the first few days of December, if not sooner.
    • I have submitted a chapbook-sized manuscript to a press in Minnesota. The working title is You Knew It All Along.
    • Poems of mine are forthcoming in Nixes Mate Review (Thanksgiving 2025) and in PENSIVE (April 2026).

    Thanks for reading! Peace and light to all.

  • Changes & Chances

    Sometime this winter, No Fixed Address Press in Boston will be releasing a broadsheet of 17 of my poems, a small collection entitled Changes & Chances. No Fixed Address publishes predominantly unhoused writers.

    And on that subject! I would encourage you all to contribute to the MANNA program (Many Angels Needed Now & Always), a program based at the Cathedral Church of St Paul, Episcopal, on Tremont Street in Boston. MANNA not only helps the unhoused in material ways, but also helps to foster the collective and individual creativity of the community. (No Fixed Address is the imprint of the MANNA group of writers.)

  • Swift River Ballad: accepted!

    Last Saturday brought word from Kelsay Books that the manuscript of my third collection, Swift River Ballad, containing twenty-three poems, has been accepted for publication toward the end of this calendar year. I am supremely grateful for Kelsay Books and their continued hospitality to my work!

  • Assembling a chapbook

    Hello, all. I haven’t posted here in a while. Not much news! But I am putting together poems for a third, chapbook-sized, collection. And I’m really enjoying the process of editing, selecting, refining, and revising. Also: the title! Which I’ll keep close to the vest for now.
