Ibbetson Street #40 Has Hit the Stands

Ibbetson Street #40 is packed with poets. Many of which I either know or have appeared alongside before. People like Timothy Gager, Teisha Dawn Twomey, and Marge Piercy. Then there's the photo by Jennifer Mathews. I'm excited to have one of my earliest pantoums (also one of my favorites) appear here. Thanks to editors Doug Holder, Harris Gardner and Rene Schwiesow for accepting my work. You can order a copy of this issue over at Lulu.

And While I'm At It...

If you missed Teisha Dawn Twomey's feature last Monday, you can order her new collection, How to Treat Pretty Things, on Amazon now!

Stone Soup Croutons, 10-31-16, Of The Dead

Stone Soup Croutons is a weekly poem I write using lines and impressions picked up from poems overheard from Stone Soup's open mic readers and features. I figure out a title (and sometimes the rest of the poem) later. To paraphrase Lorne Michaels, the poem doesn't go up because it's good; it goes up because it's Tuesday morning. I've done fifty of them now, and you can access them all here.

Much love to Teisha Dawn Twomey, who not only read an amazing set from her new book but also took home Best Costume with Tim Gager. 

Good-Bye, October!

And hello, Stone Soup!

Teisha Dawn Twomey has poems to read and books to sell. I hope you come tonight interested in both.

Teisha Dawn Twomey is Featuring at Stone Soup this Monday

Read an excerpt from her new collection in today's Stone Soup Servings over at Oddball Magazine. Then be in the audience this Monday to buy a copy.

October 31: Teisha Dawn Twomey Returns to Stone Soup

Teisha Dawn Twomey hasn't featured at Stone Soup since 2014. I promised to have her back when she had a new collection out. That time has finally come. Join me this Monday as we welcome Teisha as she reads from her new collection, How to Treat Pretty Things. The night isn't officially Halloween-themed, but if you want to show up and read in a costume, I won't stop you (no enacting out any slasher fantasies in your brother's hockey mask or uncle's overalls, Trump masks are okay if I can film you). Or read from your favorite deceased poet. Fun will be had one way or another.

My Poem is Up!

My poem "Solvent" in the latest issue of Wilderness House Literary Review. Thanks again,Steve Glines (and Poetry Editor Teisha Dawn Twomey), and Happy Tenth Anniversary to WHLR.

Scenes from Wilderess House Literary Review's 10th Anniversary Bash

Yesterday I was late getting to the Out of The Blue for the celebration of this acclaimed ten year old online web journal, but I got there just in time to get on the open mic and read a revised version of the first poem I ever had published in WHLR ("Charon's Slow Day," retittled "Charon Works Through Lunch") More importantly, I made it in time for cake.

The cake was presented, and there was much rejoicing.

And when we were finished photographing the cake, there was even more rejoicing.

WHLR founder Steve Glines makes the first cut.

Julia Carlson and Teisha Dawn Twomey.

Beatriz Alba Del Rio.

I even got to see Tim Gager too.

Awwwww!

Maybe it was the new beard but when others offered to take pictures of Tim, Teisha and me with my camera, Tim wanted to mug in front of the gallery's microphones. He was picturing us doing a rendition of a CSNY song.

Good times.

Lo and The Black Swans in July

From former Cambridge Poet Populist Lo Galluccio:


Hello friends,

Happy summer!  I'll be performing with my band, Lo and the Black Swans, on Friday night July 15th at The Arts at the Armory cafe with two amazing poets who will open the evening:  Teisha Twomey, author of How to Treat Pretty Things and Nicole Terez Dutton, Somerville Poet Laureate and author of If One of Us Should Fall. 

The band will perform some iconic covers and original tunes from Lo Galluccio's two CDs -- Andres Amitai Wilson on e.guitar, John Voigt on bass, and Michael Aguiar on percussion with Lo on vocals/lyrics.  

It should be a really fine night of poetry and music.  

The Armory is at 191 Highland Ave, in Somerville between Porter and Union Squares.  

Cover is $10

Belated Congratulations

Kudos to Teisha Dawn Twomey for becoming the new Poetry Editor of http://www.whlreview.com/

More kudos to Timothy Gager for his return to WHLR as Fiction Editor. He writes more about it on his blog.

I've been involved with the journal as a contributor for years, and I think Irene Koronas was the editor for that entire time. I'll be interested to see what happens next.
