2017 Year of the Loudmouth, published work in review.

Loudmouth for our country=UGH!        

                       

For me, 2017 may seem like a lean year for published work from me, but I've done a lot of that in the past. Most importantly was getting out, reading from and touring the book "Chief Jay Strongbow is Real", a book which I felt so strongly about I could flip through it at readings and read whatever I wanted. The totals were: 
1 Book
1 work of Fiction

12 Poems

and more interviews than anyone should have, which is neither publishing nor writing.

1. Writers and Work, December 9

2. Mass Poetry, November 13 (where the heckis it on their site?)
3. Koncast, podcast interview, October 27

4. Paradox Review, October 18

5. SCTV , television interview, September 26

6. Boston Literary Magazine, February 4
7. Also there was a recording of a reading in New York City to listen to. 

So, there were five interviews--not at all bad, considering the Loudest most vile mouth of all is still allowed to speak, from the highest office in our country (and I don't regret saying anything in any interview). Hopefully 2018 will bring more wonderful things to read, less tweets from our President, unless he is no longer President and I hope he tweets millions of ass-hurt ones.
