I have a blast of six poems as part of a feature in the new issue of The Argyle: theargylelitmag.com/microchaps-1/h…

Thanks to The Argyle Literary Magazine for publishing two poems that are close to my heart. "A Breath Together" is about a brief, but intense experience I had a lifetime ago. "The Sonoran Heat" was written after a close encounter with death in the desert. Read them: theargylelitmag.com/poetry-1/two-p…

I am so thrilled to have my prose poem “The Goldfish” out today in hex. 🐠A huge thank you to all the amazing editors at Hex for giving this weird poem such a great home! ✨

To quote from Justin Karcher's (Justin Karcher) "The Problem with Dreaming," these two issue 5 poems speak to those among us with "restless minds." Both Karcher's piece & Stefan Karlsson's "The Creamy Half" can be found in their entirety on our website crabapplelit.wixsite.com/crab-apple-lit…
