From Black Sunflowers Poetry Press: Elegies of Herons

Yes there are herons, but there are also spiders, dandelions, and deer. Florence and Venice are there. Eurydice makes an appearance and there is even a bit of singing in “I would like to ask Eurydice” published in the always wonderful Nimrod.

From Terrapin Books: The Davids Inside David

Read “Breaching the Surface“ here. This is a poem that I wrote during a period of great transition, from Tel Aviv to New York, from one life to another. You can find more poems from The Davids Inside David that you can read online on the Poems page. Let me know what you think.

Read a review of The Davids Inside David here.

Think about buying a book, print or digital, from Terrapin Books, Amazon, or Barnes&Noble.


Things I’m looking forward to right now…

Here I am reading a few poems from The Davids Inside David from the floor of my NY place. Self-produced so apologies for a couple of minor glitches though I think naked David as seen in the YouTube thumbnail makes up for it. Let me know what you think.

The fabulous Timothy Liu and I are new PUBLISHERS at Saturnalia Books. I am so thrilled to be a part of this wonderful press. Upcoming releases include Saturnalia’s first winner of The Malina A. Markham Translation Prize, Late to the House of Words, by Gemma Gorga and translated by Sharon Dolin. Availability is October of 2021. It’s an amazing book.

A whole poetry anthology of kisses assembled by Diane Lockward, poet and publisher. Can there ever be enough? A Constellation of Kisses is available in print and in digital format at Amazon.

River Electric With Light and Bathsheba Transatlantic

I am so proud of my first two books.

Read a review of Bathsheba Transatlantic from Cafe Review.

Read why Bustle considered River Electric With Light one of the thirteen books to read that year.

I hope you check them out.
