Someone at yesterday’s book launch for Barrier Island Suite asked me what the pay-off is for publishing a book of poetry. I didn’t have to think about that much! My first thought was “events like this.” Writing a book in isolation is one thing, getting poems in magazines and working with your publisher to putContinue reading “The Joys of Signing”

Yesterday, I received advance copies of my new book, Barrier Island Suite: poems inspired by the life and art of Walter Inglis Anderson.

Short Rant about Amazon.com
Dear (expletive) Amazon: Sometimes I’m just searching for information. I don’t want to buy your $#%^!

Up Periscope: Testing the Waters of Social Video
Last week, I took the plunge into Periscope, Twitter’s live streaming video app. I’ve been thinking about trying this technology for a while now, but frankly, I felt a little daunted. I shouldn’t have. Live streaming video using Periscope couldn’t be much easier. I downloaded the app, tested it with a couple of very short videosContinue reading “Up Periscope: Testing the Waters of Social Video”
New Year’s Resolution: Use Pinterest
Last year, I did very well with my new year’s resolution: I resolved to finish a book of poems. I did that and got it published — Barrier Island Suite is coming out in March from Texas Review Press. This year, my resolutions may be a little more modest, but I also want them to beContinue reading “New Year’s Resolution: Use Pinterest”
Some answers about transcripts
Occasionally I like to look at my blog’s stats page — okay, I’ll admit it, more than occasionally, and sometimes often or esp. when I should be doing something else important, I look at my stats. I try not to be obsessed, but I like to see what interests people. The stats include search terms peopleContinue reading “Some answers about transcripts”
