Malala: Poems for Malala Yousafzai Has Arrived!
Buy Now! Proceeds benefit the Malala Fund. I’m so glad to have had a hand in this beautiful publication.

Marked Men Launch at The Tattered Cover Book Store
Here are some pics of my first reading in support of Marked Men at Tattered Cover‘s Colfax location this past Friday, September 20th. Wrestling a 46-page historical poem into a 45-minute presentation gave me a sleepless night or two, but I lucked into a generous audience that made the evening a real pleasure. Thanks to my beautiful wife Melody for her turn behind the camera. Another Marked Men reading is on the schedule for the Denver area: 6:30 p.m. on Friday, October 4th, at the wonderful new indie store, Book Bar. This is part of a whole Poetry Weekend, by the way.Read More

A Fine Start to the New Year
On New Year’s Eve I picked up mail at our little local P.O. and what should I find but some starch for my flagging ego: a hot-off-the-press copy of a new anthology, Collecting Life: Poets on Objects Known and Imagined, edited by Madelyn Garner and Andrea L. Watson. It’s the first publication of a new press called simply 3: A Taos Press. The book was even then listed on Amazon, though—as often happens with brand new titles—was tagged as “out of stock.” It’s in stock there now, and I hope you’ll give it a look.Read More

The New HeartLodge Arrives
A couple of days ago I received the new (Summer 2008) issue of HeartLodge in the mail. The issue offers up a wide range of strong poems by nearly 50 writers, including my own “Kooser Creek.” (Readers will have to decide for themselves just how strong that one is!) Kudos to the HeartLodge editors—Cheryl Loetscher, Leta Grace McDonald, and Andrea L.Read More
