The Eagle and the Maple: A United States & Canadian Poetry Anthology is now available for purchase over at Amazon. You can find it right here.
As I’ve shared here before, this Local Gems Press anthology devoted to poets from here at home and from our collectively far saner neighbors to the north. (And it contains my poem, “The Secretary.”)
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.
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.
It’s a great day! Cooch Behar Magazine in India released my poetry anthology collaboration with Editor Sourav Sarkar. This short book features selections of poetry from both Mr. Sarkar and myself, and can be found right here at Amazon.
Again, I am proud to see my work appear alongside that of a poet I greatly respect — and one with an admirable commitment to the global independent literature community.
Thank you, Cooch Behar Magazine, for this wonderful opportunity!
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.
