August '12 Barbaric Yawp & Sept. 1st Open Mic

The August '12 issue of Barbaric Yawp features my essay, "The Most Famous Forgotten Artist in the World." On September 1, 2012, Ray Foreman generously included my poem, "Safe in Heaven?" on his Open Mic e-mail chain. Thanks to Ray and B.Y. editor John Berbrich for these honors. Special thanks to those Open Mic readers (many writers themselves) who e-mailed me with kind feedback. Much appreciated.

Nerve Cowboy #32

I am humbled and honored to see two of my poems included in Nerve Cowboy #32, in the company of talented writers such as Fred Voss, Joan Jobe Smith, the late great Albert Huffstickler and Rocking Chair Frank, whose work I admire. Special thanks to Joseph Shields and Jerry Hagins, Editors, for this privilege.
