The Galway Review 14 anthology was released yesterday with my love poem, “Where Would We Go?”

Leave a comment

I’m honored to be one of 17 poets worldwide whose work was selected for The Galway Review 14, the latest annual anthology from The Galway Review in the Republic of Ireland.  My love poem “Where Would We Go?” appears on Page 60; it was first first published online by the journal a month ago.

You can order a copy by contacting The Galway Review directly at thegalwayreview@gmail.com.

This is the second time that my work has appeared in one of the journal’s yearly anthologies.  Thanks once again to Managing Editor Ndrek Gjini and the rest of the leadership and staff of this distinguished publication.

“Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.”

Canst thou, O partial sleep, give thy repose
To the wet sea-boy in an hour so rude,
And, in the calmest and most stillest night,
With all appliances and means to boot,
Deny it to a king? Then, happy low, lie down.
Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown.

—  William Shakespeare’s “Henry IV, Part 2”

I swear I am not making this up.

Irony is when you exit the dry cleaner and a HUGE flock of birds IMMEDIATELY takes flight and poop-bombs you like you were Dresden — which could NECESSITATE A SUBSEQUENT DRY CLEANING.  (I actually do need to throw my jacket in the washer now.)

This is collusion.  That lady feeds the birds with a portion of her profits.  I’ll bet there are rows of feeders on the roof.

Apocrypha Now.

Leave a comment

This quote is often attributed online to a letter from Emily Dickinson to her sister-in-law, Catherine May Scott.  But that might be apocryphal — and the felicitation might date as far back as Plato.

Ali Jane Smith gives us an excellent breakdown here at the Sydney Review of Books.
