Recently, the esteemed literary journal Tupelo Quarterly featured both a portfolio of my newer poems and a phenomenal review of The Places That Hold — my latest book. In addition, editor Virginia Konchan (a marvelous poet herself) wrote a spectacular introduction to my work published in the online pages of a journal I’ve long respected and admired. Here are links to all three of these well-presented items:

My humblest and sincerest gratitude goes out to Virginia Konchan for her sensitive and perceptive reading of my work, and I’d also like to offer wider thanks to the good people at Tupelo Quarterly for their attention to my latest efforts. Poets wouldn’t thrive without literary magazines, and certainly, this one is a standard-bearer for others to emulate. I hope that my sincere appreciation gets their endeavor at least a few more page visits — drop in and check them out!
