Here’s a little poetry update, as I have a few new poems up at some fine venues. “End of the World”, a recent translation of Mario dell’Arco’s “Fine der monno” (1947) is now up at Apple Valley Review. This is particularly significant to me, as I’ve been subbing them off and on since perhaps 2007 and this is the first time my work has been accepted.

Another poem, “Holes” – a demi-sonnet – is up at Shot Glass. If you’ve never heard of a demi-sonnet, here is the lowdown. Did I do it right?

“Dear Liz–“, an appreciation of musician Liz Phair’s album Exile in Guyville (1993) is up at The Shore. I was nineteen when that album came out and it’s one of a handful of records from my once-extensive vinyl collection to have followed me in my inter-continental wanderings.

Finally, a little political poem, “An Enemy Within” is up at One Art. One does what one can to resist the horrorshow. In any case, Do something.
