I'm excited to have two more recent poems in the new issue of Stoked! The first poem, "November" was written during November of last year (creative title, huh?), the second was written this past summer around my birthday. It's called "The Book of the Dead Man (Age)" and is patterned after Marvin Bell's "Dead Man" poems, a style he created where every line is a complete sentence and each poem is broken into two sections. Bell teaches in the MFA program I graduated from, and I'd always wanted to write an homage to his dead man poems, but hadn't had the right inspiration until I was thinking about aging as my birthday neared this year. Both these poems are part of a chapbook manuscript titled Crushing On A Ghost, as well as the full-length manuscript, The Memory of Planets. GO READ STOKED III!
Also, ADP has some awesome December deals!
And if you're looking for more ideas for the book lover on your list, Nouns of Assemblage assembles nearly every small press writer ever including yours truly into one anthology. GOOD STUFF.
