Thunderclap Press is publishing my chapbook BIRDING late June.

I'm pushing back everything I have for you in favor of wandering. This is the time of the year I usually spend in the desert, avoiding pollen and keeping time by Zuni watches. Thanks to the magic shot I received last year when all of my internal problems began, my respiratory health has been at its best this year, so I have not needed to pack and run as the yellow dust storm continues at full force.

Thus I shall not be returning to my lovely New Mexico but instead wandering through the unexplored territories of upstate New York. Only for ten days. Or two weeks top. No month+ long retreat, unfortunately (though goodness knows I need it). Then it's back here to prep prep prep for classes in Italy and the much dreaded GRE. AND at that time I will be busy infecting you with reviews. If you've sent a book or chapbook for review, fear not. It will happen. As usual, I'm behind, and I don't seem to mind.

At the moment, I'm not planning to haul my laptop around with me. So keep your DDQ poetry submissions flowing but be aware that responses may not come until the first of June(ish).


In other news, I've selected a possible cover image for Don't Go Fish. I'm wrapping up a new little chapbook to be shopped on my return, and then it's on to the big big job of flushing out a full-length scenario. So many exciting things! I really can't wait to come back from NY refreshed and full of new poem ideas.

Also, I am now accepting orders online for custom art. Paintings can be made available in a variety of sizes, prices, themes, colors, etc. If you are interested in a custom painting for your home or office, see my art page for more information. The page is soon to be updated with recent pieces and more general information, so check back often.
