Old Poem at The Stinging Fly

Here is an old poem of mine, “Beautiful People,” published in The Stinging Fly in 2000, then in my collection Ancestor Worship (Salmon Poetry, 2007). I believe I wrote this in 1999 or so, during the time of the Galway Film Fleadh, to an old friend. Posting it now, as The Stinging Fly has just electronically archived their old issues...

Chapbook Forthcoming from Adjunct Press

My poem chapbook manuscript Tropospheric Clouds was accepted by the great Milwaukee-based Adjunct Press and is forthcoming this summer.  Many thanks.

This is the manuscript I referred to at the end of my interview at California Journal of Poetics, where I was asked about my latest writing projects, and replied “At the moment, I’m writing an ongoing, I suppose weird surrealistic poem, in which I try to compose without a lot of conscious control, actually not always easy. Whereas some of my more recent poetry is concerned with form (albeit, I would say, in an oblique way), this is more free-form.”

Look for Tropospheric Clouds later this summer.
