"When I begin to doubt my ability to work the word, I simply read another writer and know I have nothing to worry about. My contest is only with myself, to do it right, with power, and force, and delight, and gamble." 
— Charles Bukowski

Leaf Garden

Proud to say three poems will appear in the first issue of Leaf Garden, a new zine from Leaf Garden Press run by editors Robert Louis Henry and Melanie Brown - both poets I enjoy a lot. The poems are "old jazz records" "if ever you wake" and "the american night terror." I'm excited about this coming out, these two are great and I think they're going to put out a great zine.

The Thin Edge Of Staring

The great guys at Epic Rites just put a poem of mine "blood ivory grin" up at their e-zine The Thin Edge Of Staring, a zine that explores artists and the creative process. You can check out the poem here.

Opium Poetry

Opium Poetry is a blogzine run by Ross Vassilev, who is a really great poet. He put a poem of mine titled "a little bit burned" on it. check it out here.

Heroin Love Songs

Very excited to say my poem "knife blade sandwiches" is in Volume 6 of Heroin Love Songs. I love this zine (which you can find here).

The print edition of the zine is available as a free pdf here at lulu. There will also be an online version of it, but that won't be up for a few days - so I will update with the link to that when it is available online.
