If there is an emblem for bachelorhood, I’m pretty sure this is it.

It’s like the Westerosi sigil for House Unmarried.  (A delicious sigil.)

But, damn, I miss the baked mac-and-cheese served at Mary Washington College.  I know I’m not the only one.

Hey, gang, I just wanted to help spread the word about Poets Anonymous’ August 27th launch event for the second annual Gathering poetry anthology.  The event will take place at 7:30 at Courtyard Dulles Airport Chantilly, 3935 Centerview Drive, Chantilly VA 20151. (The door opens at 7.)

Admission is $5.  You can purchase the book at the event, if you wish; preorder information is right here.   The poets whose work will appear in the anthology have been invited to read their work (though I am sadly unable to attend due to a prior commitment.)

I hope you are all having a terrific summer.  🙂

I’m so happy to learn that my “prayer upon an empty hilltop” poem will be published in the second annual Gathering poetry anthology — due to be released at the end of August by Poets Anonymous!  I will post details and ordering information as it becomes available.

I had my work selected last year for the Gathering’s inaugural issue, so I am especially honored to see one of my poems published in this second annual collection.

Thanks once again to Bards President James P. Wagner, as well as Lesley Tyson and Megan McDonald of Poets Anonymous!

Suppose you had a colonoscopy completed, but someone burglarized your doctor’s office and stole all the imagery.

Would you report a … stolenoscopy?

Poetry Hall translates two of my poems into Chinese for its worldwide readership.

Leave a comment

I’ve been extended a really nice and unusual honor — Poetry Hall translated two of my poems into Chinese for its worldwide population of readers.

The two poems are “Quiet White Dog Short Poem” and “March Midnight Window;” they appeared in Issue 24 of Poetry Hall, released today.  The bilingual journal has a truly interesting format — it prints each poem in both English and Chinese, side by side.  You can purchase Issue 24 right here on Amazon.

Poetry Hall is a Chicago-based publisher and is a project of the Chinese Poetry Association.  I’m grateful to Managing Editor Kai Mills for allowing me to see my work appear in such a distinguished global publication.

The Hancock Building on 1st Street in Roanoke has what looks like an art deco facade.

I guess I never noticed how cool it looked until I stopped and really looked at it.
