Just a quick note to announce the release of Compose Journal’s Fall 2015 issue which includes my piece “Raro.” Read it here.

Compose Journal was also kind enough to let me contribute to their “The Story Behind (the Story)” feature. Find out about the origins of “Raro” – with specific insights into growing up in South Texas – here.

Special thanks to Suzannah Windsor for including my work in this issue! Check out the rest of the stellar issue – including work from Julie Brooks Barbour and Elizabeth Tannen – here.

As for the news this week, I am excited to announce that my full length collection of prose poems and flash fictions, Everything We Think We Hear, is officially set to be released on December 1st from Floricanto Press. Stay tuned for updates (including a sneak peak at the cover soon)! “Raro” is a good example of the kind personal focus dipped into in this upcoming collection.

See you Friday!

* new work up at waxwing literary journal

Just a quick post to announce the release of the latest issue of Waxwing Literary Journal which includes my two poems “Mesquite” and “Luchadores.”

“Mesquite” comes from a time when I worked at creating myths about the everyday things around South Texas. Read it here.

“Luchadores” comes from hearing Cathy Park Hong share a new poem called “G.L.O.W.” (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) and being inspired to revisit the little wrestler toys I played with as a kid. Read the poem here.

I am extremely grateful to have work in this issue of Waxwing. Check it out – including fine contributions by Wesley Rothman, Carrie Addington, and Erika T. Wurth among others – here.

See you Friday!
