My profile of the artists that are Hound Dog Press in Louisville are a feature in this month's issue of Kentucky Monthly.

Interview with Wendell Berry!

"An Authentic Ground of Hope: A Conversation with Wendell Berry" appears in the June/July issue of Kentucky Monthly. In the interview, Berry speaks on the topic of agriculture in America, providing his own answers to the problems of healthy food, soil depletion, mechanization, even homelessness. The interview does not appear online but is rather only in print.

My review of Graham Foust's To Anacreon in Heaven and Other Poems is posted at the website of The Iowa Review.

A poem in Blackbird

My poem "Gauguin among the Tahitians"--a piece from my new chapbook, Hibernaculum--is online at Blackbird.

Three new poems in Smartish Pace

Several of my Warren Wilson College poems--"Night Fishing," "Report from the Ground," and "The Black Walnut"--are in the latest edition (#20) of Smartish Pace, and I am among distinguished company in this issue.

My Kentucky Monthly article on NuLu Food

My article "The Food Renaissance in New Louisville" is not online and in the May print edition of the Kentucky Monthly. Thanks to Wales Hunter for the amazing photographs, Kim Butterweck for the excellent editing, and of course all the restaurants--La Coop, Decca, and Mayan Cafe--for participating, meeting with me, and feeding me.

"Hibernaculum" has been released!

After many years, and just after having been a finalist for the 2012 Ahsahta Chapbook Prize, my chapbook Hibernaculum is now out from Slash Pine Press. The book is hand-stitched, and comes inside a cloth pouch with a red ribbon. Thank you to the faculty and students of the University of Alabama at Tuscaloosa for the fine work. This spring, I will be doing a book tour here and there to promote the book, of which there are only 125 copies. Interested readers can contact me or the press for copies.
