I passed a neat milestone today. With my letter in The Richmond Times-Dispatch, I’ve now seen my writing appear in 50 periodicals (in addition to standalone publications like anthologies and such). I started waaaaaay back in 1996 or so with my first job as a reporter for the Culpeper Star-Exponent.
This arrives just a bit ahead of my 50th birthday, too — so I celebrated with a strawberry lemonade in Market Square.

What a great day, guys. I’m honored to share that three of my poems appeared today in EgoPHobia — an independent Romanian e-journal dedicated to literature and philosophy.
The poems selected were “Industrial Revolution” (an early poem that I’d dedicated to my late father), “Ode” and “school shooter.” All three pieces can be found at EgoPHobia right here.
