NEW! My poem From Hormone Imbalance to Death is newly appearing in Scapegoat Review, Spring 2023

"Sometimes we learn the hard way

that some mice will eat their own babies
like sadistic cannibals, leaving nothing but half a body
attached to a head that will always live inside mine."

in my poem From Hormone Imbalance to Death, newly appearing within the new SCAPEGOAT REVIEW SPRING 2023

New! A poem of mine is appearing in the Spring 2022 Issue of Scapegoat Review!

"Maybe your brain has become a rotting plum.
Maybe your mouth has been filled with expired
dripping pabulum that nobody else wants
to gaze upon or even try to understand."

in my poem "MENTAL METEOR SHOWER", which appears in the new Spring 2022 Issue of Scapegoat Review!

"Ponytails might induce seizures, but you don't care,

because you've been growing out your hair
for your own reasons, for a decade or more.

Sure, sometimes you'll get pissed off and rip
some of your own hair out and fling it
in some woman's face or on her floor

or in her garbage can..."

in the poem "Here's My Passive Aggressive Ponytail"

"the pinkish juices

resemble sweetness, but salt
grits the socket into lies"

(I'm actually not sure when this Spring 2009 issue went live; it might or might not have been a while ago; but I never recall receiving an email heads up about it, so I just noticed today.)

P.S. I mentioned in the above-noted interview, when answering a q. about my first full-length poetry book, 'Horrific Confection', which was published by BlazeVOX as both an e-book and in print, that I felt a bit deflated 'cuz I had only sold three print copies. Well since then, BlazeVOX editor Geoffrey Gatza sent me an email to let me know that the e-book incarnation has received about 4500 unique downloads, so that made me feel better.
