New poem in GSR!

Poetry that Responds // New Poem!
Due to the Covid-19 quarantine in Ohio, the Ekphrastacy April 2020 event at Heights Arts in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, was cancelled. Fortunately the staff at HA got together and had us poets record our poems for a virtual ekphrastacy!
My poem “Invisible Storm” is up on Heights Arts’ website. It was inspired by “Black Horse” by Jean Hoffman.
Enjoy!
National Poetry Month 2020
We need poems and poets now more than ever. If ever a group of humans existed who could see the world through a broken lens, a skewed lens, a rosy lens, it is poets. I am so glad I can speak about the world and read what truths other poets have gifted us.
Thank you, poetry. Thank you, poets. Thank you, world.
I am featured in Cuyahoga County Public Library’s Read+Write 30 days of poetry (on April 10). Please follow the link below to find the poems and maybe even sign up to receive them in your inbox.
Barnhouse Journal
Please support this amazing journal out of Cleveland, Ohio!
Barnhouse Journal’s debut issue dropped in February on their website here!

Updates for Fall/Winter
I have three poems up at Nice Cage in Issue 007! Please head there and take a read.
Additionally, I have a poem nominated for a Pushcart Prize! “Last Note Slipped Under the Mattress” in Gordon Square Review, Issue 2. If you haven’t already, you can read it here!
And that poem, as well as “The Pyre” in sidereal magazine are nominated for Best of Net 2018!
Long Poem Debut
Happy meteorological fall season!
I have a few submissions out, including the long book, so cross your fingers for STAR FACTORY. But in the mean time, the wonderful editors over at Noble/Gas Qtrly have just released Issue 205.3 which is full of amazing work and a long poem by yours truly. Go read and enjoy my longest poem ever published, titled “Color Theory.”
Micro-Chap Out Now!
My debut micro-chapbook, SPACE SPECTACULAR, is out today from Ghost City Press!
The chap is free on their website, and any donations you make will come directly to me.
SPACE SPECTACULAR is a collection of poems that enact a sort of call and response between Earth and Space. Some of the poems suppose what happens outside of our galaxy and some call out to other planets in our solar system. It was an incredible experience to research and write these poems, many of which appear in my longer manuscript, STAR FACTORY, which is currently looking for a home.
Thank you to the wonderful editors at Ghost City Press and to all my current and future readers.
I hope you enjoy!
June & July Happenings
I am happy to announce that after a year of adventure in North Carolina, I will be returning to Ohio. Cleveland and the whole state of Ohio hold a very special place in my heart, so I am grateful to be returning HOME and to the amazing literary communities that Ohio has to offer.
Go check out my poem “Bird With A Broken Wing,” which appears in the new issue of Red Queen Literary Magazine.
And look for my debut chapbook, SPACE SPECTACULAR, from Ghost City Press this July.
