Greenwich Village newspapers seemed like a dying breed until The Village Star-Revue swept in in 2025. I'm a regular columnist to this monthly print and online paper, writing about everything from chin-ups to silverware.
I had an essay, my most political to date, in the winter-spring 2025 issue of the new journal Mukoli.
Three of my Jacques Brel translations ran in The Brussels Review in 2025. What's more, the glorious British band Dead Belgian is recording one of my translations on their new album.
One of my poems was featured as part of WNYC's 2025 Poetry Month celebration.
I had a skinny poem in the journal of funny poetry called Light, winter-spring 2025 issue.
I'm proud to be recipient of the 2024 fiction award from the lovely journal Subnivean. The judge was Gish Jen. Read the story (R-rated!)
I'm in two new anthologies: a poem in Tiny Moments vol. IV (available now by clicking the link), and a true story upcoming in the parenting edition of The Bad Day Book.
I also have new work in The Village Sun, The Hudson Review, Literary Mama, The Prose Poem, LitHub and The Artisanal Writer.
My poem "Frying Marbles with My Father" was named one of four honorable mentions for the 2023 Robinson Jeffers Award, complete with prize money. Another poem, "Possessing Pronouns," was a finalist for the 2023 Wergle Flomp Humor Poetry Contest. I was also one of nine finalists (out of 1,800 entries) for the Jack Grapes Poetry Prize sponsored by Cultural Daily. I made the Top Ten for the Frontier New Voices contest, and have been nominated for a Pushcart Prize the last four years running. And in a big surprise, my short story "For Betsy's Britches" made it to the top 100 in LeVar Burton's speculative fiction contest.
Read a few additional poems here: Porlock, The New York Quarterly, The Sun, The Hudson Review, Literary Mama. One of my prose poems appeared in the international journal Expanded Field.
