Thrilled to be alongside Justin Hamm, Christina Olson & Chad Simpson at the roundtable, "Finding Place in the Placelessness," in the most recent issue of Quiddity. You can listen to excerpts of the interview here, & two of the outtakes, here & here.

O, Passages North—I've always loved you so. & now a Pushcart Nomination for my essay "Still, Rivers"! & now my humble "thank you," again. All my gratitude for how generously you've cared for my prose.

Feeling so welcome at Houseguest, which just published "[When we turn the calendar's page, my little boy looking]," "[This afternoon the sky's making the kind of promises it can]," "[If there's a joke more complicated than "knock-knock," more nuanced]" & "[There is no city in my city, let's be]." Drop by for a while, & then make yourselves at home. The whole issue is beautiful, as is their first.

Beth & I have two new poems—[Maybe just as clouds make their own streets] & [En plein air the fields themselves]—in Water~Stone Review. Order your copy of their "Improbable Boundaries" issue now to read all the wonder that the good folks in St. Paul have put together. It's a truly marvelous magazine.

Crushing hard on the new issue of DIAGRAM, where two poems from my ongoing collaboration with Beth Marzoni were just published. You can read them here. Maybe it's the only way appropriate way to say goodbye to August, now that I think about it.

Another shout out to Midwestern Gothic, my new crush. They just posted this contributor spotlight, where Beth & I discuss region, the landscape, food, what we are reading, & other such lovely.

So much love to Grist & the museum of americana for nominating my work for Best of the Net. I'm pretty close to speechless.

On the last day of a month we thought would never come, the always sassy & always smart Hobart published two poems of mine, one of which is brand-spanking-new. Caleb Curtiss is a great reader, poet, editor & I'm a big fan—you should be, too.
So, this just happened...
Mad love for Midwestern Gothic's new issue, which was released today, & features a new poem—[Once, the nomenclature of boulevard & thoroughfare turned common]—from my ongoing collaboration with Beth Marzoni. & seriously, check out Amorek Huey's poems, too. You won't be sorry.

The Hooch has arrived! Beth Marzoni & I have two new poems in the latest issue of The Chattahoochee Review.

Looks like spring may have finally made its way to the midwest! Not only are there buds on the trees, but Hayden's Ferry Review just arrived with an early spring poem of mine, [In this, this snow-brightened light of a near-spring morning, I think of the glass]. All my thanks to the good folks in Arizona for their hard work. You'll also find a stunning poem of Beth Marzoni's there. Just saying.
So, this just happened...
Two new poems from my on-going collaboration with Beth Marzoni were just published! [Imagine we can hear winter breaking its hold on the river & how] & [Cold snaps summer in half the same day someone] are out in the newest issue of Permafrost 36.1 (winter 2014). Our first poems published in Alaska! Very exciting. Also, the journal is stunning, so well-made, such care.
So, this just happened...
All my gratitude to Cimarron Review for publishing [Sometimes being here is like] & [Days the hours are no more fact than the unbelievable] in their most recent issue, just out this week. It's a truly perfect journal.

A new collaborative poem with Beth Marzoni, [Say Old River & only the locals will pause to call up], was just published in Meridian. Those editors in Charlottesville sure do make a beautiful magazine. God, & did you see the cover?

Two new poems up at Grist, in their online companion & two more enroute, via the print edition. Those editors at Grist sure do have taste. Look whose company I'm keeping!
