Several poems from my chapbook, I Meant to Say (overhere Press, 2007), appear in Caprice, Right Hand Pointing, and Shampoo. Six of these poems also appeared in a little (and out of print) book I made to share with friends. The poems in this series are inspired by personal ads posted in the "missed connections" section of craigslist communities from different cities.

I've also been working on a series tentatively titled "Postcards to Box 464," inspired by the texts of postcards sent over the course of 50+ years to my parents' longtime neighbors. My friend, Jen May, has been working on some illustrations for the poems. I'm pleased to be able to say that these poems will be published by Bootstrap Productions! Some of the poems from this series appear in the following online magazines: 42opus (here and here), Mastodon Dentist, Right Hand Pointing, Shampoo, and Snorkel. I posted a few scans of the original postcards over at flickr.

In another series based on material from craigslist, I work from ads for "free stuff." Find a handful of these poems in Pinstripe Fedora (pdf file) and as one of my Teeny Tiny mini-books. There is a sweet review of the mini-book, courtesy of Eileen Tabios as part of her review site, Galatea Resurrects.

I recently completed a manuscript of 50 poems, tentatively titled Improving Homes and Lives. These poems begin with text drawn from old magazines, mostly "women's magazines" from the 1930s and 1940s. Some of these poems appear in 42opus (and here), elimae, Eratio, listenlight, Otoliths, past simple (there's also a link at past simple to an audio file of me reading three poems), and Sawbuck.  You can also find 1 2 3 4 5 of these poems in No Tell Motel.

Over the summer of 2007, I began work on poems which draw from a range of texts about the lives of queer women (from Dusty Springfield and Marlene Dietrich to carpenters, caregivers, etc). One of those poems appears in Media Cake, three in Salt River Review, and 1 2 3 4 in Two Hawks Quarterly. Six of these also appear in a Teeny Tiny mini-book called Golden Lights.

A few poems from another series are also online, these being inspired by some old gossipy/trashy magazines I picked up on eBay. See In Times of Trouble and More and New Comics and Novelties in Robot Melon, and three more poems in The Bathroom (pdf file).

I have poems here and there in several other places on the web, and here they are, alphabetically by title: Admit One, And Thinkin' and Prayin', Clinical, Economy of Movement, Grade, Help Wanted, Intimacy, Like a Bee, Living Room, November Afternoon, Nostalgia, One Moment Please, Out to Dinner (pdf file), Poem to Temporarily Allieviate Your Suffering from Arthritis, Recommended Reading (plus one!), and Sundays.

I can be heard reading my poem "Fortune" on this National Council of Teachers of English page for National Poetry Month, and my poem "Old Age" in an issue of the audio mag, i-outlaw.

Here's a profile/interview of me and one of my poems, thanks to Katie Haegele, who also gives me a little shout-out in this very cool article about independent poetry publishers.
