FORTHCOMING IN POETS & WRITERS MAGAZINE

Marsh Hawk Press has prepared an announcement of its Spring and Fall 2016 releases for the March/April issue of Poets & Writers magazine; this ad below will appear on the back cover! As you can see below, Vince Gotera went over-the-top for his praise for my Spring 2016 book, THE CONNOISSEUR OF ALLEYS, but my publisher was happy to receive it.  All I can say is, Thank you, Vince!

You are also invited to visit Marsh Hawk Press' table at AWP to see these new books!

Of course, I recommend all of Marsh Hawk Press' books. And I also recommend a forthcoming book by Susan Schultz, such that I provided a blurb!  This will be released by the excellent poetry publisher, Talisman, helmed by the excellent poet Ed Foster! (This blurb is first-draft, unedited.)
Blurb for Memory Cards: Thomas Traherne Series by Susan Schultz:  
As each poem by Susan Schultz begins with a line from Thomas Traherne’s Centuries of Meditations, the strengths of her poems honor their source, offering a fresh reason for Traherne’s meditations remaining relevant as centuries unfold. Schultz’s poems are prose poems like Traherne’s paragraphs but are located in her and our (as readers) time. Sadly, this means referencing the homeless, “Kabul,” the Walmart worker’s low wages and even “Trump.” Fortunately, Schultz keeps our attention, even on topics that one might wish to bypass, through resonance (“Lavafall at Pahoa’s transfer station; someone lays red petals on its black”), imagery (“loss, like a rope in my stomach, turning to braid”), even whimsy (“Await the typo for that is where tooth lies”), and finally wisdom (“The weed whackers insure an absence of quiet. Quiet must be made; it’s not a taking away but an addition to.”) With their layers, often combined in pleasingly unexpected ways, these meditations—and poems—offer an immensely satisfying read.

Relatedly then, here's my latest Relished W(h)ines update of recently imbibed books and wines.  As ever, please note that in the Publications section, if you see an asterisk before the title, that means a review copy is available for Galatea Resurrects!  More info on that HERE
