Kurse you, Kroger!

This is the face I make when the supermarket is out of liverwurst.  Oh, the humanity.

“Autumn Girl” appears in The Alien Buddha Loves You Too anthology.

I’m thrilled to share here that my poem “Autumn Girl” was published today in Alien Buddha Press’ new love-themed anthology, The Alien Buddha Loves You Too.  The 281-page volume takes a truly irreverent look at romance: “love hurts. It stinks. It’s a river. It’s a battlefield. It’s often kind of gross, and it makes people do some truly diabolical things. Inside: graphic depictions of sex, murder, assault, revenge, yearning, and bodily fluids.”

Well … my piece isn’t quite as unconventional as all those things, but I am still really happy to be a part of this book.  Alien Buddha Press is a publisher I’ve been meaning to approach for a long time — they are a first rate indie lit press and the venue for some incredibly talented voices.  I’m grateful to Founding Editor Nicholas “Red” Redf for allowing me to join the community this way.

You can find the anthology on Amazon right here.  If you’d care to peruse part of the book first, you can find a preview right here at the Alien Buddha Press website.

So I passed a couple of nice milestones yesterday.

I’ve now been published throughout 60 periodicals in 11 countries and five continents.  It’s a good feeling.  🙂

[Update — I edited the headline to correctly read “passed a couple of nice milestones” instead of “hitting” them.  Because that’s an entirely different metaphor.]
