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.



My poem “March Midnight Window” is included in cc&d magazine’s newest anthology.

Thanks once again to Editor Janet Kuypers at Scars Publications for allowing me to join the community at cc&d magazine!



“Nothing” included in Scars Publications’ 2024 Poetry Review Date Book!

I got some really nice news a little while ago — Scars Publications has included my short poem “Nothing” in its 2024 Poetry Review Date Book.  (The poem was originally published by Scars this past August in Down in the Dirt magazine — and then again the following month in the Casting Off poetry anthology.)

The 2024 Poetry Review Date Book is a weekly planner that includes short poems and artwork from both Down in the Dirt and its sister publication, cc&d magazine.  You can purchase it right here at Amazon for just $14.99.

Thanks once again to Editor Janet Kuypers for including my work in another outstanding Scars book.  🙂

“The Writer” appears in Scars Publications’ Newest Anthology

I have an extra reason to be thankful this holiday — Scars Publications again selected a poem of mine to appear in its newest anthology. “The Writer,” which Scars published in the May 2020 edition of Down in the Dirt magazine, was included in the Inside the Box anthology that Scars released yesterday. (The anthology includes creative works selected from over the past year from both Down in the Dirt, and its sister publication, cc&d magazine.)

You can order Inside the Box right here over at Amazon.

I’m once again grateful to Editor Janet Kuypers for allowing me to contribute to an outstanding literary collection.

I’m getting Down in the Dirt again.

I got some great news tonight — I’ll get to see my poetry featured in Scars Publications’ Down in the Dirt magazine for a third time.  My poem “The Writer” will appear in the May 2020 issue.

The poem will also appear this week at the Scars website.  (The publisher produces both Down in the Dirt and cc&d magazines.)  Finally, “The Writer” might also be featured in future Down in the Dirt collections; the magazine regularly reprints selected poems in anthology format.  (I was lucky enough last March to see my poem “hens staring upward” reprinted in The Flickering Light anthology following its initial publication.)

Thank you, Editor Janet Kuypers, for allowing me to join the range of talented voices that are regularly showcased by Down in the Dirt!
