Harpy Hybrid Review | Visual Poetry

November 28, 2022 ·

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.

Hyacinth Review | Koss Poem

November 8, 2022 ·

Very grateful to Ariel K. Moniz and Terri Pinyerd for publishing my mystical poem about a cranial sacral session in their gorgeous zine, Hyacinth Review. This poem was originally published in Amethyst Review, but I’m glad it has a second incarnation in such a gorgeous magazine. Hyacinth Review features art, photography, poetry, and other writing, and, like Amethyst Review, they are open to publish work that explores the sacred. This is really unusual in the lit world, actually. Find the poem here, and also check out my previous post which includes links to other spiritual work published in Amethyst Review.

Petrichor Magazine Issue 21 Poetry

October 2, 2022 ·

Petrichor Issue 21 is full of interesting writing and includes a number of great visual art pieces. My work is an ekphrastic poem about Joan Mitchell’s “The Hudson” painting from the 50s, called “The Hudson Looks Different.” Also included is an asemic art or writing piece, made from old journals and sketchbooks, a palimpsest of sorts. I love the range of experimental work in Petrichor and am grateful to Seth Copeland and the other editors for these publications. Find my work here.

Gone Lawn Issue 46 | Flash | Koss

October 2, 2022 ·

Honored to have cover art and flash in Gone Lawn Issue 46. The artwork is hand drawn, then enhanced digitally. The flash, “The Dictations of Cabbages,” is, I think, a COVID persona piece written in the voice of a carrot on the moon. Okay, I hope I didn’t spoil it. It’s unlike anything I’ve written. Enjoy.
