November News

Hello, friends! November has been a big month! 


I’m grateful to share that I have been nominated for my first Pushcart Prize. The Winnow Magazine nominated my poem, “Nagual,” which was published earlier this month. What an incredible honor! Many thanks to editor Rachel Crosbie and the rest of the Winnow team.  

Here are some other places my work has appeared this month:


Here Be Dragons” is up on the Rye Whiskey Review. Thank you, as always, to editor John Patrick Robbins for giving my work a home.


“Inauspicious” and “Now Hirings  losers” appears in the inaugural edition of Last Leaves magazine. Many thanks and congrats to editors Cailey Johanna Thiessen, Kiera S. Baron and Maina Chen for launching this cool new mag!


I received my contributor’s copies of Mantis magazine (Issue 18), put out by Stanford University. This one was a long time coming—Covid delayed printing. Copies can be ordered here.

 


Eyebrows” is up at Heroin Love Songs. There is also a print edition of this magazine to look forward to. Many thanks to editor Jack Henry.


The Twelfth of Never” appeared in The Dope Fiend Daily, editor Scott Simons.



In case you missed it, I contributed three poems to the KU virtual art show, From the Ashes: How we survived in the season of tumult. The poems, “Confection,” “Forever Home,” and “Happy Trails” include a recording of me reading the work, accompanied by my photography. If you swing by, please be sure to sign the guest book!


And finally, I’m stoked to share new cover art for my horror novella, Our Miss Engel—thank you to designer Rebecca Kenny for the gorgeous work!

Our Miss Engel is only 99 cents on Amazon.

It’s also available on Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and other ebook sites.

 

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone, and thank you for reading!

From the Ashes Virtual Art Show


Friends, the University of Kansas virtual art show, From the Ashes: How we survived in the season of tumult, is now live. I contributed three poems: “Confection,” “Forever Home,” and “Happy Trails.” For each, I did a short video of me reading the poems with accompanying photography.

If you would be so kind, I would appreciate a vote for the face mask contest and/or the photography contest. Otherwise, I hope you peruse all the cool stuff the artists have contributed.

There will also be two Zoom sessions (information listed on the main page), so you can chat with the artists. Hope you’ll consider joining those as well.
