Very happy to have my poem “How to Make a Halo” nominated by Picaroon Poetry for a Pushcart prize…

As great as it is to be a part of Bottom Dog Press, it’s also wonderful to have been nominated for a Pushcart prize by them, alongside several other of their excellent titles.

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…

In keeping with this week’s European theme, the poem “Thrown Aground” has been accepted for publication in Colin Will‘s excellent The Open Mouse, a journal out of Scotland.

Writer’s Block is a literary journal sponsored by the University of Amsterdam, and “Wishing Well” is one of three poems in the latest edition: https://writersblockmagazine.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/wb29total.pdf

The poem “Eyeglasses” has been published in Vol. 4 of The Transnational, a literary magazine out of Germany. Bonus: they also translated the poem into German…

for inclusion in the Pittsburgh Poetry Houses project.  More about this interesting project: “As you walk through the city, you’ll see tiny wooden boxes on a mailbox post titled ‘Poetry House.’ Behind a plexiglass door are four quarter-sheet-sized poems, free for the taking. When you check back in a couple weeks, the old poems are gone and new poems have popped up in their place. Soon, you can’t wait until the next re-up of your local Poetry House.”  Pittsburgh Poetry Houses
