All in Poetry
Book of Matches is an incredible online literary journal (great words, stellar art) and they recently published my poem “Thompson Hill Blues” in their Eighth Issue. available to read online as a flipbook or download as a PDF. The poem is a quick one about living in a lonely little apartment in Troy, NY’s south end years ago. I hope you enjoy!
ARCH is the poetry journal of SUNY Albany, the state university in my hometown in New York. They accepted two of my poems, and by chance one of them is titled “Clouds Over New York,” while the other is named after a small town just outside of San Antonio, TX, my other hometown. That one is “Killing Time in Bulverde” and it’s a sadder poem, about my grandmother’s passing. You can read both now in the Spring 2026 Issue of ARCH (yeah, I’m a little behind in promoting these).
You can also go directly to each here:
My thanks to the editors and readers over at ARCH and to all of you for taking a look at these poems.
I’ve had some luck with poems lately, and you’ll find new ones in the following three publications…
I’m pretty pumped that I‘ll have four poems included in a new anthology called This Is Poetry Volume 5: Poets of the Northeast later this year alongside some incredible writers (and friends!) including Bud Smith, Ally Malinenko, John Grochalski, Puma Perl, Cheryl A. Rice, Rebecca Schumejda, and many others.
My poem “Variations of Blue” now appears online in a three-poet issue (#31.6) of Trampoline, alongside the works of Naa Asheley Ashitey and Sally Huggins Toner. The poem is from a small collection I wrote in (and about) the rugged and beautiful island nation of Iceland that I’m putting together, so you may hear more about that soon. But this is a great representation of what that collection is aiming for, so I hope you enjoy. My thanks to editor Justin Lacour for including this piece in his excellent online journal.
