Future Tense.

BritBud last night:     “Happy New Year from the future!”

Me:     “Happy New Year from the shameful and sordid past!”

I was lucky enough to get a few photos published this past year.  If you’d like to take a gander at them, all of my published photos can be found in the section below:

Poetry and Commentary, 2024

2024 was a banner year for my poetry.  If you happen to enjoy my ongoing, Kafka-esque portraiture of a neurotic scribbler, all of the year’s publications can be found right here:

“Please linger near the door …”

Poetry Hall again translated my poetry for its global readership of Chinese readers.

I received some really terrific year-end news a little while ago — Poetry Hall again translated a selection of my work for its worldwide audience of Chinese readers.

The biligual journal, which prints poems in both English and Chinese, selected three of mine for Issue 26; the poems are “Blue,” “Autumn Girl” and “The Mountain At Summer, Seen From A Passing Car.”

I am grateful to Kai Mills, Managing Editor of English Poetry, for allowing me to see my writing showcased in Poetry Hall this second time around.

If you would like to purchase Issue 26, you can find it right here on Amazon.

I hope you are all having a wonderful holiday season!
