Complete strangers will give you huge smile and a fist bump and say, “Keep on rockin’, Baby.”
I swear to you, New York is not like this.
I indeed WILL keep on rockin’, Sir. Thank you.

I’m so happy to tell you here that my poem “All Our Faults Are Fallen Leaves” was published today in Chandelier e-zine.
Chandelier is a superb online magazine published twice a year by Bulb Culture Collective. It features previously published writing that reflects each issue’s theme; the Summer 2025 issue’s theme is Blazing.
I am grateful to Editors L.M. Cole & Jared Povanda for deciding that my poem, with its various depictions of burning, was a good fit.
Like a great storyteller once wrote, “It was a pleasure to burn.” 🙂
Care to lay hands on some poetry for the cooler days ahead? Two new anthologies from Local Gems Press are now available at Amazon.
Gathering 2025 can be found here. (If you happen to order a copy, please check out my poem, “As Silver as the Stars You Tried to Rival.”)
Bards Poetica can be found right here. (If you order a copy of this book, I hope you’ll enjoy my poem, “Confession.”)
Have a great weekend! 🙂
I’m honored to share here that Newington Blue Press in Germany will publish my poem “Confession,” along with at least one of my photos, in the upcoming BUK100 Issue #4 — the Forever Young Edition.
Preorder information can be found here.
Thanks once again to Publishing Editor Matthias Kruger for allowing me to showcase my work in this outstanding chapbook series dedicated to Charles Bukowski!
What strange powers God has conferred upon all you people. I can only hope that you will use them for good.
Sometimes I can write well. But, holy shit, the lord does not give with both hands.
I’m so happy to see my review of “28 Years Later” (2025) appear today over at The Piker Press.
Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to be a part of this fun creative community!
