I enjoy my inside reading chair, but I live for these days on the front porch. Today, I am accompanied by Steven Searcy Below the Brightness, John Moriarty, and my cat Patroclus.

I’m glad to receive my contributor copy of Atlanta Review. In addition to general submissions, the spring/summer issue includes a section from living poets in another country (in translation)

I’m pleased as all get-out to have this *rimas dissolutas* in the new issue of Nimrod Journal, whose EIC is the formidable Boris Dralyuk.

One of my two poems in the new Blue Unicorn.

“Concerning a Nightingale” by Alcuin, translated by Maryann Corbett, from To Heaven’s Rim, the Wipf and Stock Publishers anthology of world Christian poetry edited by BurlHorniachek

It’s a treat to have a poem published in Joie de Vivre — the issues are full of beautiful art, including custom illustrations for each original poem. Many thanks to editor Daniel Fitzpatrick!

One year ago my first book of poems was published! Thanks so much to everyone who read it! Solum Literary Press

Unbelievably poignant. Jane was a gift.

I have a new poem in the current issue of IEEE Spectrum (the monthly magazine of the largest professional organization for electrical and electronics engineers). If you’ve been looking for some rhyming couplets in amphibrachic dimeter, look no further: spectrum.ieee.org/a-sunday-in-au…

Inspired by KHD and Timothy Green advocating for more poetry in non-literary publications…this magazine goes to IEEE’s 400k members and as far as I know has never published poetry before

Thrilled to receive my first Best of the Net nomination from the fabulous journal New Verse Review! Thanks so much to Steven Knepper and the other editors. All the other nominated poems are excellent, check them out in the post!

I have a new poem up at The Brazen Head. Some biblical narrative in trochaic hexameter for your Monday. Thanks to editors Liam Guilar & Derek Turner

I’m happy to share this review of Paul J. Pastor’s excellent new collection, The Locust Years (Wiseblood Books). Thanks to Nadya Williams for running this piece!

Today at NVR, Carter Davis Johnson returns to review Steven Searcy's (Steven Searcy) debut collection Below the Brightness. Find it 👇. "Of Searcy’s many compelling formal structures, some of my favorite are his spare dimeter and monometer poems."

It’s really wonderful to receive such an attentive and appreciative reading of my book!
