Market Square and Market Street, Roanoke, VA, June 2022

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.

The Times-Dispatch is Virginia’s second largest newspaper, with a Sunday circulation of over 120,000 people. Thanks so much to its editorial staff for graciously allowing me to share my opinion there.

I’m so happy today to see my latest letter to the editor (about mandatory prayer in the public school classroom) appear in the pages of The Free Lance-Star.  You can read it online right here.

In addition to being the newspaper for my college town of Fredericksburg, Virginia, The Free Lance-Star is a leading regional news source with more than 65,000 weekday readers.  I’m quite grateful to its editorial staff for allowing me to share my perspective there.

EgoPHobia features three of my poems.

Leave a comment

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.

I am quite grateful to Editor Stefan Bolea and the staff at EgoPHobia for allowing me to showcase my work in this important cultural resource for Eastern Europe.
