I'm excited to announce that three of my poems are now live in the 70th (and alas, final) issue of Otoliths, joining the fabulous company of Bob Heman, Heath Brougher, Mark DC, Stephen Bett, Sheila Murphy, Jim Leftwich and far too many others to mention here. A big thank you to Mark Young for publishing my writing and congratulations on bringing 70 issues of Otoliths into the world.

I shed
spray
spew
sweat
cough on my shroud

don't bang a clown
cause zoos are loud
I'm not cowed

you've got too strange for evil sprays maybe
then my strummed loam maybe
my mouse is lark and I've brought star-fold
your clanging sound rabies
with sheen and shone and a blue-nosed shrew

the strong and blinding toad
that speeds through your poor
will never diss a peer
I've greened that toad, pre-spoor

*I'd* read a book of poems called "The Brain Soliloquys", wouldn't you?

A page from "Breathnexus", a long poem about the beginning of the pandemic. I livestreamed a reading of this from my living room in May of 2020, posted on my YouTube channel here: youtu.be/750ipb2Uj_E
