The latest issue of Dappled Things has a painting by Emily Pastor that is very striking. I had a slow day at work, so I tried to do what she did with mixed results. You can get a copy of magazine for only $10 that comes with several of her other paintings (and one of my stories).

"I find that many of my poems respond, either implicitly or explicitly, to my persistent sense of displacement. There are reasons particular to my life that contribute to this sense, but in many ways, the human condition is one of exile." currentpub.com/2025/02/19/e...

The kind folks over at Dappled Things published a new story of mine. It's about playing dominoes, sort of. www.dappledthings.org/fiction/a-lo...

This happened in the summer of 1977. Past wheat harvest, so late June on a Sunday evening after church. The Gerbers invited us for supper and dominoes and prayer. The sun didn’t set til nearly ten and...

I interviewed Matt Miller about his book “Leaves of Healing: A Year in the Garden” out now from @bellepointpress.bsky.social. The book works through two calendars—gardening & liturgical. The interview is up at Front Porch Republic. www.frontporchrepublic.com/2025/01/mark...

Knowledge is a path to love, and so I’m bound to say that the book did change my affection for the place.

I have a poem in the latest issue of New Verse Review. It’s a rich issue full of very good poems. I haven’t figured out which of the poets are here on Bluesky yet, but maybe you can. www.newversereview.com/issue-2-1--w...

My top two pieces of advice for running a successful, invigourating bookclub are: 1) never have a question about whether people liked the book. Honestly, who cares if you liked a book? Super uninteresting question that absolutely evolves into discussion of tastes rather than critique of book.

I sent the final manuscript for Call Out Coyote into Wiseblood Books on Sunday night, the twelfth day of Christmas. Except edits from Wiseblood, it looks like this. I can confidently say this is the best, complete collection of poems I’ve ever written. Coming your way in 2026.

So my morning consisted of pulling my toddler’s Hot Wheels car out of his used toilet… and having a poem published at The Clayjar Review. Honored to be included in this wonderful group of poets. Also, just trying to keep it real. clayjar.review/issues/thril...

These little prose series one offs by @bellepointpress.bsky.social are a great way to win over readers. Nice design cue, too, on the inside cover of @americangwyn.bsky.social’s “Parricide Blues.” I may leave this copy some place public. You’ll be hooked in the first paragraph.

IT'S A WONDERFUL ESSAY: The last few days before Christmas is when people usually tend to rewatch 'It's a Wonderful Life.' Can I commend to you this really superb essay we published a few years ago? It could change the way you understand that movie. www.thebulwark.com/p/there-is-n...

There Is No Mary Problem in ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’
George’s vision of his wife without him is essential to the film, but critics continue to miss its true—and profound—meaning.

My first collection of poems has been released into the world! Grateful to the team at Solum Press for turning these poems of mine into a genuine physical book (and a very beautiful one, if may say so, in my completely unbiased opinion…). www.solumpress.com/publications...

In the 15 years I've been on Twitter, this is my greatest hit: Sometimes I drop by the coffee shop in the town I grew up in and I’ll see the parents of someone I grew up with and then realize it’s not their parents but it’s them and that now I’m old.

Reading a collection of poetry can sometimes feel like looking at a photo album of people you don’t know. There’s no initial reason for you to look at them, but if the photos are composed well enough, the photos might still hold your interest. Oh and have supermodels.
