Impspired Volume 13 features three of my poems.

Impspired in the United Kingdom released its 13th volume today, featuring three of my poems: “At the Coffee Shop,” “Autumn Girl” and “A Poet’s Short Note to His Muse.”  (These pieces were previously published online in Impspired Issue 26.)

You can purchase a paperback copy of Impspired Volume Thirteen right here over at Amazon.

As always, I am grateful to Editor Steve Cawte for allowing me to see my work published by such an outstanding literary magazine!

(And miles to go before I sleep.)

Got my first rejection letter from a publication in China.

Hey — it’s a “trying milestone.” I failed, but I tried something new for the first time.

Like when submitted to The New Yorker or to The Irish Times.
