Glad you asked! You can poke around this blog for earlier drafts and versions of some pieces that I released after first publication by a literary journal, even if they were written much earlier. You can also click on the links below for my recent publications around the globe!

Most of them, they will take you to a link online where you can read the piece without further ado. Some are in print only, if they get picked up by an online journal, I will update the page, or after a time, I will post here on my blog.

Fear, Death, and the Earth in ‘Merica long listed for the Disquiet Literary prize!

“out of over 1200 entries, yours made it to the longlist – the top 45 entries in poetry. Our readers were impressed by the way your submission multiplies and coalesces itself in turn, in dialogue with itself simultaneous to the reader. This poetry “tests out and alights from narrative voices, both embodied and omnipotent, from within an epic scope of images.”

Rusty Morrison, poet and founder Omnidawn, is my oracle and copy editor, I’m forever grateful!
