Here, I’m gathering together my older publications in one spot:
My poem “Metaphors” was published in Issue 31, Spring 2014, of Ruminate, a beautiful literary magazine dedicated to “slowing down and paying attention.” Sadly, after 16 years, Ruminate shut down in 2022. However, they have made every issue available, for free, online, in full print layout/format, which is amazing. The issues can be found here.
“Metaphors” was also republished on Little Eagle’s RE/VERSE, a blog dedicated to republishing published poems that are “well worth another look.” It was published there on September 16, 2015.
In Volume 10, Issue 1 (Spring 2009) of Georgetown Review, my poem “To Hal Struthee” was published. This journal was founded in 1993, and unfortunately published its last issue in 2015.
This is also the first, and only, poem that I have had reviewed (well, the whole issue was reviewed)! The Review Review called it “a powerful meditation on the effect our lives leave on the world.” While The Review Review is no longer available online, it can be viewed thanks to the Internet Archive right here.
Two poems, “Photographs” and “I Never Knew Jesus Smelled So Good,” appeared in Hurricane Review, Volume 1 Issue 6, 2008.
Eclectic Muse, a journal that was dedicated to more formal poetry, published “The Magical Journal of C. Eustatius” and “Jumprope Song” in Volume 13, Christmas 2007.
And my earliest publication was in the still-going-strong Dunes Review – in volume 12, Issue 2 (Winter 2007-2008), two of my poems appeared: “December Photograph” and “Mrs. Ellis’ Twelve Months Without Rain” (if you click the link above, you’ll see the title has been revised to “Twelve Months Without Rain).
