The Blog

A great old friend of mine and a terrific writer just started a blog. Check it out!

August 23, 2021:

Today I launch my WordPress. It is going to be a collection of mostly memoirs and maybe some short story fiction and poetry if I can get myself into it.

I am currently in the process of kicking dope, again. What you will read here will mostly be a real time journal of this process along with whatever insight I can provide along the way from this experience and past experiences. So with that said, there’s going to be some dark content on this site. I’m starting this blog in hopes that it’ll serve as a sort of “therapy” for me, as well as provide a source of insight, understanding and/or empathy for people who are dealing with others who are in addiction, have lost someone to drugs, or are going through it themselves. Trigger warnings will be used as necessary. Enjoy the ride.

Handheld hummingbird feeders — gag gift or not?

I received handheld hummingbird feeders as a gift.  I’m trying to figure out if this is a joke or not before I stand in the middle of the park holding these things.

Update: my friend just told me that I could affix them to a hat.  She insists that this is not a joke.

Beat Scene Magazine Praises Buk 100 Volume 2.

There’s a terrific review of Buk 100: Notes for a Dirty Old Birthday in the latest issue of Beat Scene magazine. (Notes for a Dirty Old Birthday is the second volume of Newington Blue Press’ Buk 100 series of limited edition chapbooks. They are dedicated to Charles Bukowski, and all three of the chapbooks include contributions from me.)

Congratulations to Editors Matthias Kruger and Rebecca McLeish for seeing their handiwork so favorably received by this long running British magazine dedicated to beat culture!
