Very excited to have three poems in R&R! Thanks to Joseph Grantham.

Thrilled to be in such great company!

Highly recommended!

Thank you to Sudhouse — and boundless gratitude to our readers, Austyn Wohlers, Zain Khalid, Όντρεϊ Χορν and Ryan Ruby and the community that joined us tonight. On behalf of my co-hosts Michael Barron & Chris, we’re building a scene here, & we’ll see you again soon.

Typical reaction after reading Michael Bible’s short story, “Jim Martini,” R&R:

“This is the greatest story I have ever read.”
