In the future everyone will read poems for 8 1/2 minutes...(UPDATED 8/16)

        One can hope, can't we? The future can and will happen on August 16-18 thanks to John Mulrooney and Jim Behrle. The line-up as of 7/24 will be posted below with changes edited in as they become known. If you are local to the Boston area, plan on checking this out. It'll be my first time reading here and I've heard nothing but good things about this annual event.

LINK 1: The Cambridge Day had a nice write up on 8/15 which included "Girl With a Gun" (see this link or below)

LINK 2: UPDATE 10/10: About a certain "misunderstanding' at the event.

The way to The Santa Fe Literary Review

Here's the cover of the 2013 Santa Fe Literary Review. Meg Tuite and Sudasi Clement are their Editors and I'm grateful that they liked my work enough to include one of my flash pieces!

The journal will be available to the public very soon, so keep checking back or you can read the on-line really cool page turning  version.





My piece "Where in The House",  is alongside great work by writers Sheila O' ConnorMary Stone DockeryJames Joseph BrownMathieu CaillerRobert VaughanAlex Pruteanu Teisha Dawn TwomeyLibby HallMichael Gillan Maxwell.






 The story, "Where in The House", is one of a woman who keeps a memory box from each of her exes, filled with a range as wide as a Buzzcocks t-shirt and to an urn. Please check it our and buy it as soon as it is available.
