That 70’s Poet.

I passed a nice milestone yesterday — I’ve now seen my writing and photography appear in 70 ongoing periodicals (in addition to the anthologies and other standalone publications).

It’s the magazine named for me and my peer group — how could I NOT submit a poem?

Seriously, though, I am quite grateful to Editor in Chief Arthur Graham for publishing “Confession” in this superb and subversive art/lit zine “that will always be for the misfits.”

You can find the poem right here:

“Confession”



 

I don’t want to get too Frank with you …

Standing by the side of the road, and a raven leaves its perch on the power lines to overfly me.

If you are a fan of “28 Days Later” (2002), then you know that this is a setup for a BAD situation.

My first I Ching reading. :-)

“Above, fire, below, the lake.
“The image of opposition this amid all fellowship,
“The superior retains his kind.”

Throwback Thursday: the Cover to “Marvel Comics Presents” #85, Sam Kieth, 1991

This is a truly iconic 1990’s comic cover by the inimitable Sam Kieth; the image takes me right back to when I returned to comic book fandom in the first half of the decade. Kieth passed away on March 15th.
