I’ve got two new poems out to finish up October!

“Definitely Not Haunted” is included in the inaugural issue of The Macabre Museum, out today! It’s my take on real estate listings that use euphemisms like “Fixer Upper!” and other such things to disguise the fact that there are problems with a property. You can buy a copy of the magazine on Amazon!

Star*Line has published my poem, “The Lovers Across the Strait,” in the Autumn 2019 issue of the magazine, which can be purchased at their website. This poem is a reinterpretation of Scylla and Charybdis as lovers who are unable to reach one another, and so they send each other tokens of their affection in the form of shipwrecks and sailors. I’ve been a fan of Greek mythology since childhood, so I was thrilled to get this piece, based on some of the earliest Greek names I knew, published!
