Two poems in The Pinch, and four poems in Softblow

Thanks to Ashley Roach-Freiman for including two of my poems -- "Memphis" and "A Tundra is a Room without Walls"--in the first issue of the 35th volume of The Pinch. I appreciated my chance to read in Memphis in January, 2014, and this is a nice memento of that time.

I also should acknowledge, albeit a bit late, that four poems from my Discountry series are online at Softblow.

Three poems in Yes, Poetry

I am February Poet-of-the-Month at Joanna C. Valente's Yes, Poetry. Three poems--"Window in a Little Drawer," "Marriage a Perfect Elegy," and "Persimmon," all from my Discountry manuscript--are posted here.

Thanks to Joanna for the honor.

New Poem in Phantom Limb

Thanks to Jeffrey Allen and John James for publishing my poem "Alba," which you can read here.

Pyro Gallery 'Double Vision' Show and Reading

I am pleased to say that I am one of the poets represented in a collaborative project at the Pyro Gallery in downtown Louisville. I collaborated with sculptor John McCarthy, who is also working with my daughter Teagan's kindergarten class as an artist-in-residence at Lincoln Performing Arts School. Together we made an homage to my father, who died during the collaboration. An article from the Courier-Journal is here. The show runs until February 15, and on February 5, I will be reading at the gallery, including a poem about my father's death that will appear in the journal Forklift, Ohio this year.

You can also listen to an interview on ART x FM radio from Rachel Short's "Keep Louisville Literary" show here. I talk about the project, read a poem, and talk about my father, yoga, and the collaboration.

Three New Poems in So-and-So Magazine

Two poems in Country Music

I'm grateful to editor Scott Abels for including two poems from my Discountry series--"Unfinished Geometry" and "To the Accompaniment of a Fiddle"--in Issue 7 of Country Music. 

New Poem in TYPO
