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. #poetry

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). #poetry

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. #poetry
