The poem “Curating a Necktie Collection” is up at the American Arts Quarterly Web site: http://www.nccsc.net/archives/poetry/poems/curating-necktie-collection

Since our last names begin with “C,” it’s occurred just a few times that my name has appeared on the same page as that of former US Poet Laureate Billy Collins, which feels like I’m a kid who’s snuck out of bed to see what the grown-ups are doing in the livingroom late at night. I’ll take what I can get, though…. 🙂

Thanks to wonderful sculptor and poet Meredith Bergmann for helping with this poem…
