I don’t employ metaphor.

With me, it’s metaFIVE, Baby, metaSIX, metaTEN.

Waiting for the inevitable “Spinal Tap” joke …

My poem “March Midnight Window” appears in Scars Publications’ 2025 anthology.

Well, this is a nice surprise tonight.  Scars Publications included my poem “March Midnight Window” in its Signs and Revelations: Scars Publications 2025 Collection Book.  You can order it right here from Amazon.

The poem previously appears in Scars’ cc&d magazine last March, and then the following month in the Letter From the End of the World anthology.

Thanks once again to Editor in Chief Janet Kuypers for showcasing my writing through Scars Publications.



Throwback Thursday: this 1980 ABC7NY holiday news segment about video games!

I actually remember Kaity Tong.

And listen to those New York accents!  “My mutha.”  For a pretty big portion of my life, that sounded perfectly normal to me.

I can only vaguely remember ads for that “Dark Tower” game, but I believe a group of my friends on Facebook were actually talking about it.  I thought they were making a Stephen King reference, but they told me they periodically play a certain board game as a tradition … I’m guessing this is it.

I am linking here, by the way, to the ABC7NY YouTube channel.
