I re-worked my website and moved it to squarespace.com. It's not completely finished but it is up. Take a look if you get a chance.

I'm sure you're dying to see this.

Just what the world needs, advice from me.

I’m No Longer Troubled By The Extravagance on BOA website

More blatant self-promotion. My new book, I’m No Longer Troubled By The Extravagance, is available for pre-order on BOA’s website.

Wish I Wrote It

Every now and then I come across a line I wish I wrote, this line by GC Waldrep is one of them. Found it in a BOA Editions tweet. I have a couple of her books, gonna go back to read them.

"Grief is a little church we don't remember / joining..."

ps
Actually, I often come across lines of poetry I wish I wrote. I read a lot of wonderful poetry.

World Poetry Day

Today is World Poetry Day

Today we celebrate World Poetry Day. “To me, poetry is somebody standing up, so to speak, and saying, with as little concealment as possible, what it is for him or her to be on earth at this moment” ― Galway Kinnell
