Review + New

There's now a review of Ghost Lights in the new 10th anniversary issue of Blackbird. Thanks so much to Emilia Phillips for taking the time to review it so thoroughly and thoughtfully.

Also, I have a new poem from my second manuscript in the issue, should you be interested in taking a look at it.

First Book Interview #42 - Bobby C. Rogers

I can't really express how thrilled I am that Bobby C. Rogers decided to answer some questions for me.

I've been a fan of his work for years. From the first poem I saw of his in a journal, "Night Air" in an older issue of Meridian six years ago, I was absolutely floored. It continued from there.

So it's no surprise that I hold his first book, Paper Anniversary, in such high regard. There's the spirit of late-life Larry Levis. There are the cinematically poetic flourishes of Terrence Malick. There's beauty in the most menial tasks. There's the southern romanticism of Joe Bolton. I could go on.

It's a beautiful and necessary book of poetry, first book or not.

So here we go...
