David Lynch inspired my poetry and fiction, entertained and disturbed me in equal measure, and was the textbook definition of an auteur. His loss is immeasurable.

If I see one more goddamn social media conspiracy post about drones and UFOs, I’m taking hostages. Get a life, people.
Many thanks to South Carolina Review for publishing “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” in the new Fall 2024 issue. I’m out of the submission loop now, so if this is the last one then I’ve gone out on a high note and with a fantastic journal. ❤️ #poetry

With Mercy for the Greedy
Concerning your letter in which you ask me to call a priest and in which you ask me to wear The Cross that you enclose; your own cross, your dog-bitten cross, no larger than a thumb, small and wooden,...

A poem from my new & selected collection, “Wonder & Wreckage.” I’d never heard of terminal agitation until I became a caretaker for my mother after her cancer diagnosis. #poetry
