Order My First Chapbook,          "Night Fires," from Pudding House Publications: 

"Night Fires" was a semifinalist for The Journal Award (2009), also known as the "Charles B. Wheeler Prize."  This is an annual competition to select one poetry maunuscript for publication, sponsored by OSU poets (click here for more ).  A smaller selection of these poems is now currently in press by Pudding House Publications, the 'largest' small press for poetry in the U.S. and is slated to be released in the summer, 2009.

Additionally, I have been selected to appear in a special anthology, "Casting the Nines," which will have nine poets and nine poems about the number nine.  It will be issued on 9/9/09 by Pudding House, and nine copies will be distributed to each of the nine poets with the charge to give away the nine copies to nine complete strangers (along with a pep talk about poetry).  After that, the book will have a commercial distribution.  I'm pretty excited about this opportunity, and will provide more details as we near the release date.  Please fill out the form below to be kept in the loop.
