“An England” in NEWFOUND
Newfound (formerly Precipitate) has taken my long* poem “An England”, which is pretty much me trying to fit the color green that England is into five pages. It’s in their first issue; if the link doesn’t work (the URL seems to be an issue-based one), just use the search function on the top right hand side of their website.
* “long”. After writing a 50-page poem, saying a five-page poem is ‘long’ feels strange. But I recalibrate, life goes on, and this poem is ‘long’, too. Amen.
Winter Fiction
A pair of very short stories, “Apartment 203” and “Arrondissement”, are in Winter Fiction, a limited-run chapbook from Milkweed Editions, which is available free with a $25 purchase on their website this winter.
“Historical fragment” as a Motionpoem
My poem “Historical fragment” will be made into a Motionpoem next year, and will have its premiere at the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis.
SWEETBRIAR, forthcoming from dancing girl press
My chapbook Sweetbriar will be published in autumn 2013 by dancing girl press, and I couldn’t be more excited or pleased. I’m in great company there.
Sweetbriar is about heredity—how things are passed through a family. It’s about my family in particular, and about the family Rosaceae, which includes roses, stone fruits (like peaches, cherries, and plums), rowan trees, and brambles.
