I'm very proud and happy to have three poems up at Boston Review. And in such great company!  Click here to read them.

Allegory Is an Endless Loop

Another experiment with the process that led to my "It's My Decision" piece. This one with a new, under-construction poem, "Allegory Is an Endless Loop."

A Terrific Review

A terrific review of the February 10 performance at the Gershwin Hotel is up at the blog Lucid Culture.
