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.

Throwback Thursday: this 1983 Washington Post article about Mary Washington College.

Leave a comment

If you’re one of my alumni and you’re looking for a smile today, check out this this 1983 WaPo piece about campus life at Mary Washington College. It was written by Mary Battiata on the school’s 75th anniversary.

It sounds like even kids back then took a pretty dour attitude about how Mary Wash’s social life compared with that of other schools.  And this was a full seven years before our graduating class even arrived as freshmen.

It was a briefclipse.

Leave a comment

As any of my fellow Roanokers can attest, viewing conditions for the 2024 solar eclipse were not ideal.  My perseverance did pay off, however … the clouds unexpectedly parted around 3 PM, near the height of the phenomenon.

And it was pretty damned trippy to watch.
