I found out today that the translation of Jonathan Swift that Maddie & I had wrote was included on a French radio show. She wasn’t that impressed by having it published, but getting it on a radio show - a French one, no less - now it’s cool enough to show her friends 😂

I’m incredibly grateful to have my poem, “From a Hilltop Cemetery,” included in the May issue of The World of Myth Magazine. Perusing the table of contents, I can see I’m in fine company—I recommend the entire release. jayzomondarkmyth.com/darkmythproduc…
