New poem, same muse. Thank you to @anthonyframe.bsky.social for making space for this one in @glasspoetry.bsky.social, a journal I have loved for so very long. You can also listen here: www.glass-poetry.com/journal.html Holding the world in my heart, as well. 💙

Copy by copy, every hard-earned sale of a poetry collection is an act of trust, a contract between the poet and the reader that reaches far beyond cash. This is why I refuse to shy away from reminding you about Whatever You Do, Just Don't. Drop me a DM and I'll sort out your signed copy for you...

Delighted to have a poem in the wonderful new Christmas Anthology from @blackboughpoetry.bsky.social! 🎄 My copy arrived just as I discovered 'Hellebore' has also been nominated for the Pushcart Prize! ❄️

POETS: If you're not exactly a spring chicken (I consider myself a mid-to-late-summer bird) I highly recommend taking a gander (sorry, not trying to pun, it just happened) at The Stern Prize. What a lovely framework for a prize: 50 & over. I mean, it takes a half-century to unlearn some things, yes?

New poem in The Louisville Review from the new manuscript. I am grateful to the editors, especially Flora K. Schildknecht, for including this one: another poem for the brother. 💙
