I’ve been a little lax with the posting recently, but I’m happy to share a few new things that have popped up around the web:
- Daniel Shapiro wrote a thoughtful review of But Our Princess in Arsenic Lobster. (Scroll to the bottom of the page.) “He continually reinforces an important notion, that the finest poems are not about what they seem to be, that telling readers how they’re supposed to feel is far less valuable than guiding them through their own game.”
- An interview I did a while back with KMSU, out of Minnesota State – Mankato, about But Our Princess, which also fetaures the real-life story about how I beat Super Mario Bros. on a pontoon boat, is now available for your listening delight in handy MP3 form.
- “everything about breathing,” a summery poem amidst all this wintery bluster, was published at Gulf Stream.
- “catchy door and sticky drawer,” a poem about weather, thinking about having kids, and a song from 1949, is up at Ascent and subsequently got a little NewPages love.
- I had a whole series of postcards about weather and thinking about having kids published in Verse Wisconsin. It includes the word zugzwang.
- And this person who clearly has abundant time gives “Ms. and Super Pac-Man” a thorough academic dissection.
Looking forward to 2014. My chapbook, Yes, is forthcoming from Parallel Press in May, and my next full-length book, I got off the train at Ash Lake is also due out from sunnyoutside.
