…is here, in Cerise Press‘s tenth issue. The editors at CP have been supportive of my work since the journal began, and I want to thank them for taking yet another review and for publishing my work—and to congratulate them for making it to ten issues.

A story I wrote, ‘A Matter of Public Record’, is in DIAGRAM’s summer 2012 all-fiction issue. The story was a finalist in DIAGRAM’s Innovative Fiction Contest, and I’m really pleased they published it.

The story’s about archives, simultaneity, Japan, France, Belgium, flax, international trade routes, space travel, and the year 1873.

You can find two poems of mine, ‘To wear their own clothes at all times’ and ‘Elemental concerns’ in ILK, issue four. The former came out of reading about the Irish hunger strikers in the 1980s and the Palestinian ones of the past year; the latter out of some research I’ve been doing on radioactive elements—specifically plutonium. I’m in good company, too: Laressa Dickey, whose chapbooks are published by MIEL, and Hannah VanderHart, whose poem ‘Diana’ was in 111O/1, both have poems in ILK this time.
