Two New Poems in ARCH

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:

KILLING TIME IN BULVERDE

My thanks to the editors and readers over at ARCH and to all of you for taking a look at these poems.

"Variations of Blue" Now Appears in Trampoline

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.

Summer News and Autumn Goals

I haven’t posted a whole lot this year but it’s been a busy summer so far. A quick trip to Philadelphia, a cancelled camping expedition, baseball games, pool adventures, parades, and I moved in with Amelia and Henry at long last. I’m settling in and getting back into a writing groove after spending most of the spring packing. Beyond a busy summer personally, I’ve been busy publishing and writing too.
