As previously mentioned, my poem Wormhole was published in issue 92 of Apex Magazine, earlier this month. Now it’s printed on their site, too.
Poetry + fiction + photos + other thoughts
Month: January 2017
My poem, “Wolf,” appears in this month’s Linden Avenue Literary Journal — the January 2017 issue, no. 56.
You can read my poem here, as well as poetry and prose by Rosie DeSantis, Edinson Shane Tolley, Stephen Wack, and Diane Bonavist.
I really like the selections Linden Avenue Literary Journal makes — reading through the back issues is a treat, if you have some time to browse.
Wolves are hard to study, but via radio collar and other methods researchers are making progress. You can read about the study of wolves in Alaska’s Denali National Park here in a National Park Service report. The report shows some great photos of Denali’s wolves.
John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, Part 3 of 3: Link Roundup

Lots of links for further reading and listening, but I warn you that the topics of depression, alcoholism and suicide will come up. Again.
But first, my rant.
John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, Part 2 of 3: Content Connections
This is Part 2 of a 3 part series on Berryman’s Dream Songs. You can find Part 1 in an earlier post.
I was re-reading John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs and finished my re-read on the 45th anniversary of Berryman’s death. That is a creepy coincidence which I didn’t see coming.
John Berryman’s 77 Dream Songs, Part 1 of 3: Craft
The craft and skill which John Berryman pours into his 77 Dream Songs is often overshadowed by the intensity of the content of which he writes. With that in mind, I am splitting my comments on 77 Dream Songs into a three post series.
- Part 1 will focus on craft comments.
- Part 2 will discuss connections among the content.
- Part 3 will give a list of links for further reading and listening/viewing.
