New poems & upcoming readings

+ POEMS


A couple of poems appear in the new issue of Barrelhouse, and you can read one of them online here, including annotations about how the poem changed between the first and final drafts:
The Cheating of the Fancy

A longish serial poem is up at Ink Node too:
The Deeps

During the month of April, I will be posting poem drafts every day at the Bloof Blog with a bunch of other poets.
