Quotidian Project is done! Thanks for reading. Now for weird speculative fiction.

The quotidian project closed last month. Read a little about it here, and here. It's been fun. Which was the heart of the whole project in the first place. The Black Narrows is available.

It's summer. No more daily writing of poems,but I'm revising and editing, which is where the real work lies.

Thank you for reading, sharing, and discussing the poems or the project. I'll still post poems and short stories on Figment and Wattpad regularly, I promise. Special thanks to Seasofme and Lisaner, especially for their kind Wattpad comments, and occasional editorial notes.

I'll be grinding out some YA/Speculative Fiction of the big and broad and magical variety. It's been cooking and all I can really say is: sharks, giant spiders, mermaids, airships, and a house that forgot it was a boat. Stay tuned.

Soon there will be a book trailer for my first, well reviewed, but hardly read Seven Days on the Mountain. It's cool making movies. Takes time. Lots of it. Working on the music for the trailer and the fine editing details. Will post it as soon as possible.

For budding writers, students and anyone wanting to get their pen on:I write daily for many jobs, and am happy to answer any questions through Wattpad or Figment. Don't be shy. Just be patient.

It's a day, go out and have an adventure. In your head. Go on, I dare you.

Summer Poetry Reading in Rehoboth

If anyone's interested in a mid-summer run to Rehoboth's outlet malls, consider Tuesday, July 27th, and stop by the Rehoboth Beach Librar y for the summer poetry series. Besides moi, Denise Clemmons, poet and food critic for the Cape Gazette, and Sherry Chapplle, poet and professor. Excellent company. Books will be for sale afterwards. It's a quality series, and full of surprises. Garry Hanna has done a bang-up job organizing the summer series. Bring a few quarters to ward off the meter maid. Reading starts at 7:00 PM.

Out this week: Thirty Days: Best of the 30/30 Project. Featuring my poem "Love in Reverse"

Marie Gauthier of Tupelo Press selected one of my poems, "Love in Reverse" for Thirty Days : The best of the 30/30 Project Year One. It's one of a few anthologies to feature my work (cue haughty accent, spotlight, espresso, and French cigarettes). Hopefully you'll be hearing more from me over the next few months as projects near completion. Thanks for the support.

Vittorio Carli's work is punk rock #poetry

A Passion for Apathy: The Collected and Rejected Poems of Vittorio Carl i, a small press gem of punk rock poetry, carries poetic traditions in its teeth. Punk rock because of the in-your-face-anti-establishment irony and earnestness in Carli's presentation of his verse, traditional in the homage and muse tradition of poetry. He writes to and for those and that which enlarges his voice. Carli's work reads like a cross between cultural commentary/homage to persons as varied as Lawrence Welk to Woody Allen, to snapshots of socio-political unrest, which are flags of protest. My favorite is the “The Trouble with Librarians (for Andrea)” where Librarians are cast as the progenitors of closed information; they are “all closed books/with a couple of pages missing.” He's a poet, and I imagine him in some stacked room typing madly, or in transit, to and fro Chicago, scribbling on the back of brown paper bags. He works it. He's out there living poetry. Proof. My copy of t...
