As I get older, it is interesting to me how time passes quickly and slowly and quickly again. And for the first time, I can “measure” a year with what I’ve had published.
One fine journal, Tuck Magazine, recently and suddenly closed down. That is sad, for Tuck Magazine published fiction, nonfiction, and poetry with social justice themes.
In any case, here is what I’ve had published the past year, thirteen poems and one short story. (I seemed to have lost a short story somewhere…)
“Where You Are Not,” a poem, June 2019, in Esthetic Apostle, here.
“Swamp Pearls,” a poem, May 2019, here at: Prometheus Dreaming.
“Not Sleep,” a poem, in Cagibi: A Literary Space, April 2019, here: Cagibi.
“The Professor and the Gravel,” a poem, 2019, at Wingless Dreamer.
“Saltwater Faces,” an ekphrastic poem inspired by paintings at the Art Institute of Chicago, High Shelf Press, 2018, https://www.highshelfpress.com/saltwaterfaces.

Ten plus years ago, we bought our first home. On one of our first nights in our home, we heard a chirping chirping sound that just wouldn’t stop. Thinking it was a fire alarm, we looked everywhere and finally found the source of the loud chirping: the sounds were coming from our heating/ air conditioning vents. Crickets!
