21 Love Poems (and Mine is One!)

I'm so stoked to be part of anything called Hell Yes Press, even more pleased to announce that I have a poem in their audio cassette 21 Love Poems anthology, freaking love poems on cassette, read to you by the poets themselves, including me and my weirdo voice.

There are only like 65 available. If you want one, get on that blog fast when it is available. If you don't get one, you can come to my house and we can drink a nice beverage and cuddle and listen to them if you're into that.

The rad dude Nick Sturm asked my buds Christopher Newgent and Layne Ransom to come read at the Big Big Mess Reading Series he does. WE SAID YES DUH.


This is the cover for my PDF chapbook from Artistically Declined Press, due out at the end of the month. It's this long poem thing that I wrote when I was going through my divorce and listening to State Champion's "Stale Champagne" album a lot.


This is the cover for my chapbook from H_NGM_N Books, due out mid-December. It's a bunch of poems that I did as an independent study with Todd McKinney my senior year at Ball State.
