The poetry e-zine Dead Snakes featured a love poem of mine this morning — “Starlight.” Thanks again, Dead Snakes!

The online poetry e-zine Dead Snakes has featured my poem, “The Minotaur.” I’m especially grateful to Stephen and the gang over at Dead Snakes because this piece was important to me — it’s a tribute to my favorite poet, W.H. Auden. I tried to emulate the allusion and internal rhyme scheme he sometimes employed.

Thanks, Dead Snakes!!

Two new poems of mine were featured today on the wonderful online poetry magazine, Dead Snakes. The poems are a bit dark, and are entitled “When I Meet the Devil” and “Lying Close.”

Dead Snakes is always a great read, with poetry that is offbeat, dark and unconventional. I highly recommend it.

Big changes to Dagda Publishing coming in the next few weeks – read on..

My poem, “Delaware Sheets,” which I’d actually written back in my 20’s, got some very nice comments over at Every Day Poets.

Please read the poem and, if you like it, kindly click to give it a star rating? (The highest rated poems appear annually in anthology format.) And, as always, thanks for reading! 🙂

From Every Day Poets:

“It’s warming up  in the Northern Hemisphere and spring is busting out all over. New growth, new flowers, and of course, new poets. We’d like to welcome Vincent DiPietro, Rohini Gupta, Justine Pannett, Julie deGarie, Eric Robert Nolan, A.A. Howell, Lori Schafer, Michael Braun, Mike Drazen and J.L. Sharp to the Every Day Poets family.”

Thanks, Every Day Poets!

First, my short poem, “Delaware Sheets,” will appear in Every Day Poets on May 14.

Second, when my set of three poems, entitled “Three Dreamers,” appear in Illumen Magazine next year, they will be combined into a single long poem. The tentative new title for this revised piece will be “Birds, Machinery and Warfare: Three Dreamers Leave an Office at Dusk.”

Finally, based on a few informal conversations with a publisher, it is possible that my poetry will appear in a new kind of venue in the coming months. I’ll be able to make an announcement if and when those plans are finalized.

I hope everyone is having a great Spring!

Just for fun, I added a page here with links to a couple of videos. They show me trying my hand at reading my favorite poet of all time, W. H. Auden.

Me reading W. H. Auden ….

Dagda Publishing in the United Kingdom today featured my poem, “Our Room in Brooklyn.” This was a deeply personal piece that I first drafted many years ago in Park Slope, Brooklyn, but I was initially unsatisfied with how it developed. I recently reworked the poem extensively, though, and was quite eager to share it with an audience.

As always, I’m grateful to Dagda Publishing and its warm community of readers and poets for their encouragement and feedback.
