I did a livestreamed reading of "Half Dreamt", the second book of Hypnopompic Diaries, from my living room/library in Honolulu in July of 2021. You can watch it on my YouTube channel. Hypnopompic Diaries, Books One and Two is available from AlienBuddha Press and can be purchased at Amazon (link in comments.)

Two poems from my Oulipo-inspired series "Pumice Vocal" were just published in the 6th issue of TYPO from Black Scat Books. Each poem takes a vowel sound and runs with it--every word contains that sound. I'm pleased to be included in this journal: each issue not only dives deep into avant-garde history, but also carries its spirit into the future.

Since the beginning of this year the amazing Chris Stroffolino and I have been writing poems on our relationship to music, both in dialogue and collaboratively. Nine of the pieces from this project appear in the Spring 2024 issue of BlazeVOX launched today. Follow the link and click on Chris's name to read four of his response poems, plus one that we wrote together. Click on my name to see four of my responses (plus one, "Future Futures", that's unrelated).

I have a new poem in this week's North Coast Journal. It's called "Take the Mods Thrifting", it's part of a collaboration I've been working on with Chris Stroffolino (more about that soon!) and it's an homage to articles of clothing mentioned in pop songs.
If you're not in Humboldt County to pick up the paper edition, you can find it online at the link above.

If you'd like to hear some of the poems in my new book Hypnopompic Diaries, out now on Alien Buddha Press and available at Amazon, before spending your hard-earned cash on it, here's a reading I did of Book One (a.k.a. "Pandemic Summer") 3 years ago yesterday (February 21, 2021).

I'm excited to announce that my first full-length poetry book in 18 years is now available from Alien Buddha Press. It's called *Hypnopompic Diaries (Books One and Two)* and you can find it at the link below. Much gratitude to Red at Alien Buddha. If anyone is interested in writing a review of the book (whether a brief one on Amazon or a more formal one in a literary journal of your choosing) that would be a huge help.
