There are intimate portraits of a young poet named Robert, son of a 1940's minor movie star, which are at times hilarious, brooding and touching--yet always engaging, revealing and true. rebrand.ly/yp6plqz #memoir #memoirist #poet

very very grateful today to @hubbsd.bsky.social for giving three new poems of mine a home @apehousemagazine.bsky.social — here’s one of them, written after finding a turn-of-the-century Jeff Koons book I couldn’t afford in York, PA, which was JK’s birthplace. 🍩.
Hair with Cheese

is a Jeff Koons painting
from 2000. “Maid with Flaxen
Hair” was Windows 7 sample music
& eventually we’ll all be
dust, which is at least a form
of fineness, powdered donette right
