Outlook Springs Best of the Net Nominations 2023

October 2, 2022 ·

Very pleased and surprised to be among Outlook Springs Best of the Net nominees for 2023. My poem, if William Burroughs Were Your Secretary, published in Outlook Springs print journal and online, was nominated. There’s lots of great poetry and fiction you can find on their site. Check out the print issue and my sound file on my audio page. Also, another funny poem about job interviews, “Core Values,” was published on their site and there’s also an audio file here on my website. I love Outlook Springs and am grateful to Jeremy John Parker, Andrew R. Mitchell, Jayce and Al Mitchell and the other editors for this honor (and for having a sense of humor).
