Three of my poems were included in Issue 30 of the Poetry Hall bilingual journal.

I’m so happy to share here tonight that the Poetry Hall quarterly bilingual journal again published three of my poems today in Issue 30.  The poems selected were “Milky Way Haiku” (“银河俳句”), “Demurring Haiku” (“谦拒俳句”) and “Blood-Moon Haiku” (“血月俳句”).   As always, they appear in the journal in both English and Chinese.

You can find Issue 30 right here at Amazon.

Thank you, once again, to Editor-in-Chief Xu Yingcai and translator Zhang Ning for allowing me to see my writing appear in this distinguished international literary journal!



Signing a book for a friend.  🙂



The Galway Review publishes my poem “Where Would We Go?” — and also selects it for its 2026 anthology.

I’m ecstatic!  The Galway Review today published my poem “Where Would We Go?” — and also selected it for its next anthology, The Galway Review 14.

You can find the poem at The Galway Review online right here.

The anthology will be released in April 2026; I’ll post purchasing details when they become available.

The Galway Review is the leading literary magazine for Galway, the fourth largest city in the Republic of Ireland.  It features contemporary reviews, fiction, non-fiction, poetry and photography, and seeks to publish work that is “beautiful and different.”

I am once again grateful to Managing Editor Ndrek Gjini and his colleagues for allowing me to see my work showcased by this important literary resource for Northern Europe and beyond.



Getting my copy of my co-authored poetry anthology with Sourav Sarkar at Cooch Behar Magazine.

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.



Insomnia. So I am chilling with some Noon poems from Cooch Behar Magazine.

Cooch Behar Magazine invites me to co-author a poetry anthology with Sourav Sarkar.

So here’s the great news at which I’ve been hinting to my friends.  Cooch Behar Magazine in India has invited me to co-author a short poetry anthology with Editor Sourav Sarkar.

This really is an outstanding honor for me, as I greatly respect Mr. Sarkar’s work, as well as his ongoing commitment to the international independent literature community.  I am very happy that I will be able to see my writing appear alongside his own.

Thank you, Cooch Behar Magazine!

I will post more details as they develop.

As always, thanks to Editor Sourav Sarkar for allowing me to see my work showcased by this outstanding indie lit publisher!



Throwback Thursday: College Nolan!

Circa 1992.  With College Girlfriend, no less.

The young lady pictured was always a sublimely cool individual, so I will spare her the ignominy of naming her here.  (We protect the innocent at this blog.)

Thanks to MWC Alum Rick Slagle for the photo!
