Dead Letter Radio features “hens staring upward”

Leave a comment

I’m honored today to find another poem of mine featured on the Dead Letter Radio podcast!  Host Taize Jones offered a wonderful reading of “hens staring upward” on Episode 15 of the weekly program.  (My piece is the last that Taize interprets — it starts at the 13:00 mark in the podcast.)

You can hear the entire episode right here.  Dead Letter Radio is also available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and over at Listen Notes.  It really is a terrific show; I highly recommend that you check it out.

Thanks again, Taize!

Volume 2 of Buk 100 Features “Ode to a New Black Ball-Point Pen”

Leave a comment

Airmail from Germany!

I am honored to see a poem and a photograph of mine published in Buk 100: Notes for a Dirty Old Birthday!  Like the first volume of Buk 100, Newington Blue Press created this second limited edition chapbook to honor what would have been legendary poet Charles Bukowski’s 100th birthday.  (You can order your copy right here.)

The short poem is entitled “Ode to a New Black Ball-Point Pen” and the photo appears just below it.  (I think my fellow Roanokers will recognize Shaffer’s Crossing Norfolk Southern Railway Bridge.)

Thanks again to Matthias Krueger for selecting my work for this superb recognition of Bukowski’s legacy!
