ANVIL TONGUE PUBLICATIONS 2024

·

Thrilled to have work in Anvil Tongue as a nice entry into March, and, hopefully, spring, but you never know where I live! Daniel Garraun has put together a nice issue with the following writers:

  • Will Davis
  • Estajoka
  • Barton Smock
  • Adam Stutz
  • Will Alexander & Justin Robinson
  • Joseph Delgado
  • Elisabeth Bletsoe
  • Lo Kwa Mei-en
  • Koss
  • Sherese Francis

I have several republished pieces in this issue (most were in print), some photos, and some of my earliest, experimental Wuthering Heights pieces (see one of them below, but use the link to read the entire issue):

  • Aldi, Simple Things (originally published in North Dakota Quarterly)
  • Skins (originally published in Chiron)
  • Five for (originally published in Feral)
  • Seven for (originally published in Eunoia Review)
  • What Max Did Before Climbing into her Spaceship (originally published in Feral)

The photos and erasure poems were not published, although some may have appeared on my social accounts or in an online gallery. For more Wuthering Heights erasures, check out the search bar because there are graphics and/or links to other publications.

Permafrost | Winter ’24 Issue

·

After a very long delay, Permafrost Magazine’s Winter ’24 Issue Has Arrived. Note that this was supposed to be a March ’23 Issue, and I’m not sure how it will be listed on their website. From what I can tell, you need a Submittable account to purchase it from their site.

I have two Wuthering Heights erasure poem collages in it. They are both traditional and digital media and part of a series of Wuthering Heights erasure poems I’ve been working on over the last five years. Use the search bar to the right or see “categories” to see other blackout poems (including some from this series).

Harpy Hybrid Review | Visual Poetry

·

Honored to have some visual poetry in Harpy Hybrid Review (three pieces included). This is my second publication with them, so I’m thrilled to be invited back. They include questions for the artists to complete describing their process, so I did my best to shed some light. This is a great issue with lots of visual poetry as well as writing. I love this ‘zine. Find my work here, and read about my other Harpy Hybrid publications here.
