I’m a little slow in announcing this, but my poem “Gunfight In Manhattan” has been published in the online journal My Favorite Bullet.
The poem is a part of my upcoming collection Rumsfeld’s Sandbox and follows the publication of other poems in the collection. Those poems include:
“Battlefield Confession”

“Nocturne: Battlefield Sonnet”
“The Armor Dims”
“Carcass”
“Siege”

Yesterday, I posted a poem I wrote recently, a habit I don’t want to start, but I thought I’d share the video of me reading it today for the second Friday Video installment. The poem is titled “When I Come Home.” I hope you enjoy it.
I’m going to try something different. Starting today I’m going to upload a new video of me reading a poem every Friday. It won’t always be a poem I wrote. It may be a classic poem or just a poem I like. But I thought it would be a good way to preserve some of [...]
I just wrapped up the finishing touches on the longest poem I’ve ever written. I’ve been tinkering with it now for about three years, off and on. Some of that time has been spent ruminating, not writing, which is still writing.

As National Poetry Month draws nearer, I am planning an experiment that I predict will catch on en masse. I won’t be the first person to do this, but I will be (as far as I know) the first person to codify principles for doing it. The “it” I’m talking about is writing and publishing [...]

Before I share the poem with you I’d like to tell you what a Twitter poem is or may be. But first, what is Twitter?

Deborah Ager asks, “When to quit a poem?”
I’ve thought about this a lot lately. I said a while back that I was about ready to retire Rumsfeld’s Sandbox and start on something new. Of course, this is a book of poems, but the principle should hold for projects as well as individual poems. When it’s [...]
I thought this was interesting – the poem “Footprints.” You’ve no doubt read it. It’s usually presented as something that is written anonymous, or at least there is no name attached. Well, now people are coming out of the woodwork claiming to have written. Nice Christians.
Incantation.

I’ve been browsing YouTube for poetry videos for several weeks now. I’ve even subscribed to a few channels when I’ve come across poems that I thought made good videos. But until now, I’ve never seen a poetry video that just made me jump from my seat. But this one did.
I don’t know who this poet [...]
