Just back from the Prattstore...

where I stocked up on sewing supplies (silk thread, pinking shears, stitch ripper, fabric pencils, bias tape, zippers in a million colors, they had everything but machine needles, and even had muslin) and Charlie got some ink and schtuff. Nice! And they'll soon have a full bookstore in the mezzanine (but it's not quite put together yet). [Link--scroll to the 1/19/05 press release.]

All updated at last

The old "current" and "archived" pages have been combined into the new "poems" page (click tab in nav bar above), an exhaustive (well, almost) history of my poetry publications since undergrad. Sheesh--I am glad some of that stuff is long MIA. But for the sake of completeness, there you go. Links to new & forthcoming poems will appear there going forward.

And the "books" page has been updated too, with descriptions and cover art for Gamers & Spooky.

Now aren't I fancy?

NaPoWriMo: April 8

[Expired]

SCORE: 1/X/3/X/5/6/7/8. I think over the weekend I will try to go back and make up those two missed days. This one, like all poems posted here, will expire in 24 hours. A few folks have asked why I dissolve them like that. Two reasons: A) the poems are generally too new (or too bad) for permanent display and B) because some editors would consider them previously published.

How to Make a Living as a Poet

Tim Botta gives a nice little blurb for Gary Mex Glazner's new Soft Skull book, which reminds me to remind you that Gary is now blogging over at Make a Living as a Poet. Check it out and link him up, y'all. [Link fixed.]

NaPoWriMo: April 7

Did it, but don't like it so you can't see it.

Note to self:

If you're going to play Follow the Leader, go with an infallible front man.

Hey, look who's here!

Say hello to Matthew Thorburn, y'all.
