Surfacing with a few poems


Apology-and-poems

I've neglected sending out poems and posting for a long time because of far-flung travels, a long stay in North Carolina after my mother's death, those peculiarly-named small but wicked demons Madame Plantar Faciitis and Sir Histamine Intolerance, and also the general oceanic chaos that is sometimes life. Luckily, I sent a few poems out and also received some welcome requests. So here are what new or recent-ish publications that come to mind. I'm afraid it's a bit random. Rather lazily, I have sometimes simply pointed to a page that gathers all my poems from different issues in one place, so be sure and ramble around and read other poets in the archives. (And in fact, you may find more of my poems from earlier years there if you keep scrolling down at The Brazen Head.)

I do have some (eight, maybe?) new poems coming out in The Colosseum, The Brazen Head, and New Verse Review... All three journals are good homes for poets who write in form, and they have interesting poet-editors. And I think a number of those poems reflect some of my travels of the past year and a half (Canada, Italy, Spain, Czech Republic, Hungary, Singapore, and South Korea--whew!), particularly in Asia.

Alas, I must once again remind large numbers of Chinese salesmen and other worldwide peddlers that if they fall into the Gulf of Spam, they will be eaten by roaming Balrogs. The rest of you, lovers of grace, poetry, and horses (nod to Yeats--you do not have to be fond of horses), feel free to leave fascinating missives and curious arguments.
