Links to selected works, sorted

I write about a lot of things, obviously, but I do tend to write about three things: my experience with gender identity, climate change/rural life intersection, & my experience with addiction & recovery. 

Work about gender dysphoria and its intersections: dysphoria, body/mind disassociation. Sometimes the poems are directly about me, sometimes projected onto other people:

"Queer, the woods," River Mouth Review

"Boy in Disintegration Loop" Great River Review

"Correcting/My Walk" Great River Review

"Tiresias Comes Over For Tea" Gargoyle

"I Channel the Field in Autumn" Wraparound South

"Punks Get Up to Get Beat Down" Feral

"Privacy in a Small Town" The Citron Review

"Song of the Wild They", "Play Dress Up" Dreamstreets

"Maxine Who Was Once Max" Image/Out

All My Rowdy Friends (trigger warning: instances of my internalized transphobia, self-hating cognitive patterns, addiction, trauma, but also some acceptance, some hope, some joy)

"Old Man in a Blouse At Market" The Good Men Project

"The Success of Captain Whitaker's Dress"  The Good Men Project

The Girl Notebooks The Coe Review

"Terry at the River" Red Hills Review

"The Grl Notebooks" TQ Quarterly

Fiction

Mulch, forthcoming from Montag Press (the main motif throughout the novel is that one does not have control over one's body)

"I, Tiresias" Common Oddities Sideshow


Poems about addiction/recovery--mostly my experience re-mixed as something else:

"The Phalaropes, the Drink, and Me" BODY

"A Few Lines for Stephen K Who Died Sober"

"Portrait of a Marriage with Twin Peaks and Forest" These Poems Are Not What They Seem

"Surrender" New Plains Review

All My Rowdy Friends (trigger warning: internalized transphobia, self-hating cognitive patterns, addiction, trauma)

"Christy. To Her Sponsor. June 11" Typehouse


Poems about climate change:

"Lawnmower" "Lark Pastures Outside of Town" River Heron Review

"Peregrin Falcon in a Disintegration Loop" "Stellar's Jay in Teller's Bay"   Sinking City Review

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.

#PresidentBannon, feudal #America. Dugin's influence on the White House

Op Ed. Ramble. Steve Bannon is often described as a Neo-Nazi, or just a Nazi. He really isn’t. That’s way too simple.  He knows his Nazi imagery and iconography, evident from the “America First” inauguration speech, the lingo of the campaign, plus the regime’s early policy. Bannon claims to be a Nationalist, one with an originalist view of the Constitution, much like Neil Gorsuch, Trump’s pick for SCOTUS.  So what do you get when you thread a Fascism fetish, Old-School Constitutional thinking, and capitalism?   American feudalism. A loose federal government, controlled by a strong military, the oligarchy ruling class lording over the spoils of the states which would possibly be recombined, even, into loose nations, pooling resources, and trade leverage.

Common Core Standards and Urban Decay Inspire First Poem for 30/30 May

This May I will be giving my time to write 30 new poems for Tupelo Press, which is in the throes of raising money via crowd-sourcing for new projects. They are non profit. Grants remain at recession lows. So, this morning as I met with my graduating seniors during their one on one conference (we discuss plans for success, grades, papers, attendance, etc) I pulled up Common Core Apps while waiting for a senior to fetch his book for his book report. The app is Common Curriculum , a cool lesson plan and web posting service. For some reason the idea struck to adopt some of the standards for a United States of Poetry--which sounded dystopian and Orwellian to my ears. So I mashed up some made up standards with some urban decay riffs. The urban decay riffs will need tweaking as they don't really strike any new visual ground, but rather cull standard tropes together. The made-up Common Core riffs are meta, and will also need to be made consistent. There is obvious commentary about CC
