A Face to Meet the Faces Anthology

I got my hands on a copy of A Face to Meet the Faces. I've been flipping through the anthology and it's got a pretty exhaustive collection of contemporary persona poems in it. Again, I'm thrilled to have my poem "Hulk Smash!" included in the book.

The launch in Chicago is coming up on Thursday, March 1, 2012. I won't be reading anything but I'll be in attendance. Hope to see some of your lovely mugs there.

I will be a featured reader at the New York launch at the Cornelia Street Cafe on May 15, 2012. For a list of upcoming readings featuring contributors from the anthology, please click HERE.

Now Hulk is gonna have to start practicing his serious reading face in front of the mirror in preparation for his reading...

Thank you, Stacey and Oliver!

Moondoggy Recommends: Pretty Flowers by Gabby Gabby

Want some reading material for Valentine's Day? Please check out Pretty Flowers by Gabby Gabby.

Gabby Gabby is an enthusiastic young writer from Virginia that I recently discovered.

Her piece actually has little to do with flowers and more to do with musings on place, identity, and love.  

It's sad and optimistic at the same time. It is lovely, indeed.

It makes me want to eat corndogs at a state fair with my beloved in a bad way.

Thank you, Gabby Gabby, for writing this.

Read the PDF for Pretty Flowers HERE.

Thanks for reading.
