I am delighted that the editors of basalt: a journal of fine and literary arts have committed to publishing selections of poems from my manuscript "A Forest of Names," which they will be posting to their website in monthly installments throughout 2018. I will keep adding links here to each of these posts as they appear throughout the year. Thank you Jodi Varon and David Axelrod for your continued support of this project.

Constellations of Humanity

Each luminous dot on this map represents one reader of this poem. As the number of readers increases, the stars begin to cluster and form an increasingly detailed constellation. My intent is to show how brightly a poem glows across our world. I welcome your light.
