I’m pleased to announce that my poem “The Pause Between” was selected for a Pushcart Prize and will appear in Pushcart Prize XLIX: Best of the Small Presses (2025 edition), Pushcart’s annual anthology scheduled for publication on Dec. 3, 2024. In my advance copy, the poem appears on p. 119. It’s very cool to share company with the likes of poets Diane Seuss, Danusha Laméris, Charles Simic, Donika Kelly, and Gregory Pardlo.
The poem, from a 2023 issue of Deep Wild: Writing From the Backcountry, (my thanks to Heidi Blankenship, the poetry editor there) can be found in my third collection, Reincarnation & Other Stimulants, available on the BOOKS page of this web site or wherever bibliophiles roam when they need more books.
