(ANOTHER) CHAPBOOK JUST RELEASED: Dispatches from Everest

It has been a steep climb. Thanks to Fomite for bringing this chapbook to fruition!

"The lyrical poems in Dispatches from Everest attempt to probe the thoughts and experiences of George Leigh Mallory on his third and final expedition to Everest. They are meditations on what may have passed through the senses of the great mountaineer, particularly after the fall, as the storm clouds closed in and his family and the living world seemed farther away than ever."

New Chapbook!

I am thrilled to announce that my chapbook, Boundaries, is included in Blue Lyra Press Delphi Series, Vol. 4!

Blue Lyra Press does it a little differently with the Delphi Series: each volume contains THREE chapbooks, THREE poets. The idea is that each of the poets will gain an audience they would not have otherwise had. I am proud to be sandwiched in Volume 4 between the brilliant poetry of Ting Gou and Erin Redfern.

Now available on Amazon.

An Interview in GEOSI READS

Woke this morning to find that the prolific Geosi Gyasi has published the interview I did with him this morning on his blog, GEOSI READS. Check it out here -- and while you are there, just look at the list of writers (from all over the globe!) whom he has interviewed. A treasure trove indeed. I am honored to be among them. Thank you, Geosi, and to Rewa Zeinati for hooking us up!

A Best of the Net nom?

Two fingers of a poem...

Cicada appears in Shot Glass, an online journal of short poems!

The Nazim Hikmet Poetry Competition is one of the best-run contests I have ever entered. And they are dealing with submissions from 25 countries and 43 US states! Pictured above: my three contributor's copies of the published chapbook. Not pictured: my $100 check (each of ten winners receives $100) and, best of all, a letter welcoming me to the "Nazim Hikmet family".

This NEVER Happens!

A graphic designer getting a shout-out for her artwork for a play?

broadwayworld.com's Sherry Shameer Cohen is a theatre reviewer who notices and appreciates every effort that goes into the production of a play -- in this instance, Steve Martin's Picasso at the Lapin Agile at Long Wharf Theatre. Posting this interview here may seem like bragging, but I like to think I am posting this for all the graphic designers who toil (and boy, do we toil!) in obscurity. Cheers!!!
