Indiana Review Podcast Featured Poet, yours truly

Well, well look what I found....

This was recorded during AWP 2008. Obviously impromptu answer to the question at the end, but still a nice surprise to find.

The Lovely & Talented

Diane Lockward reviews American Flamingo.

Ta Daaa!

get yours here.

And just so you know Didi & April are amazing -- amazing -- to work with, a wonderful experience all around.

Wow

Received the great news today that American Flamingo was one of ten finalists for the Philbrick Poetry Award. I had pulled it from the contest after Didi solicited the manuscript, but apparently it wasn't actually pulled.

Yes!!

At last I can tell you the news --

My new chapbook, American Flamingo will be published by MiPOesias Magazine! The fabulous Didi Menendez -- publisher extraordinaire -- selected it as the first chapbook for their Cuban-American, American Cubans poetry series.
