My poem "Emily's Legacy" is getting some good distribution. It has appeared in the new available volume from Write Bloody Press: The Good Things About America. It was also featured (thanks to my dear friend and muse Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, as the 501st episode of my podcast.)
In that same vein, I'm pleased to have been able to offer, through special Arrangement with the Allen Ginsberg Trust, the full recording of Howl (for Carl Solomon) as an extended show number 500 on the podcast. Check it out and subscribe!
