I feel honored to have a poem in the latest, 17th anniversary issue of Pedestal Magazine. In good company, too, with many poets I admire: Kelli Russell Agodon, Joan Colby, John Bradley, Andrea Hollander, Jared Smith and more. Check it out!

Also, I wanted to steer y’all to Goodreads, where—with care and insight—Scots poet and fiction writer Jim Murdoch reviews The World As Is.
Congratulations, and warmest wishes for a most inspired new year!
Good poem Joe…great last line!
Also: isn’t Joan Colby wonderful?
“Earache” soothes both the mind and ear–a pleasure to hear! Congrats, Joseph.
I enjoyed the review of your poetry by the Scotsman, Joe. Intelligent, and refreshing in its honesty and unique insights, He is the ideal reader: one who is objective and frank, yet at the same time sensitive and receptive. “There is no great writing without good reading,” Aldous Huxley reminded us years ago. Your critic brought that home, and elevated your poetry in a way no formal academic criticism could ever manage. What a blessing!
Congratulations, m’love! I’m so proud of you.
