Hyacinth Review | Photographs

August 22, 2022 ·

Hyacinth, a gorgeous new journal that publishes a range of poetry, photography, and art, published a suite of photographs, August, on August 11, the anniversary of Max’s suicide. Three of these were taken with her by my side a couple of days before she died. Two were shot shortly after. One angel piece also appeared in Harpy Hybrid, who published several poems and photos last year. It was kind and thoughtful of the editors to publish them on this day. They are also publishing a poem about healing from grief in November.

The above photo was taken with Max two days before she suicided. This one was not included in the review. A black and white version previously appeared in Harpy Hybrid Review.

Bending Genres Issue 28 | Flash Fiction

August 22, 2022 ·

How lucky can I be? Bending Genres included a flash, Sister Story, which I wrote in my twenties called Sister Story in issue 28. This is a difficult piece about how secrets get buried in marriage, stories, and language itself.

I’m very grateful to Meg Tuite, David O’Connor, Robert Vaughan, and the rest of the Bending Genres staff. This issue includes a bunch of writers including:

Andrew Maynard
Lindsey Pharr
Maria Poulatha
Brad Rose
Joe Kapitan
Tina Barry
Keith Powell
Chelsea Stickle
and others. . . .

Schuylkill Valley Dispatches | Sandwich

August 16, 2022 ·

Happy to have this experimental writing, Sandwich, in Schuylkill Valley Dispatches, an online feature of Schuylkill Valley Magazine. It is not holy, but there is still time to be holy. I’m big on validation along with all the transcendental stuff. I’ve got another piece coming out this month (August 2022) in the Schuylkill Valley print journal. Also see my snake piece, Since Your Are Gone: I Dream You Laughing, also published in Schuylkill Valley Dispatches last year. Schuylkill Valley has a print journal, online Dispatches, and an online journal and their masthead is comprised of Rob Kanuik (Managing Editor of SVJ Online, Max Rabb (Dispatches), Peter Krok (EIC), Jane Edna Mohler (Co-Poetry Editor), Mary Jo LoBello Jerome (Co-Editor), and others (see SVJ’s about page here).
