I've authored three chapbooks and have appeared in numerous anthologies. Most of them are available via links below.
My latest chapbook, courtesy of Červená Barva Press. These so-called "roommate poems" (though they cover many topics) helped to close several chapters of my life (and serve to remind me why I live by myself today). Tom Daley, my friend and frequent poetry instructor, puts it better than I can: "These poems will leave their mark on the mind of any reader who has ever stammered through a roommate interview or suffocated from the incense sneaking under the crack at the bottom of a roommate's door."

In late 2002, I started my series of "Sarcastic Haiku" as an exercise. As my country moved closer and closer to war with another former ally, my haiku became more and more linked with the Iraq war and the GW presidency.
Printed on normal copy paper, this is the most "zine" of my publicaitons. I don't sell this online but at readings, I'll part with a copy for $2 or include it with another purchase.
My first poetry chapbook, self-published in 2003 under my Freak Machine Press imprint. Since I thought at the time that it would be the only collection I'd ever do, it contained only my best work from my college, MFA, and small press years from 1994-2001. It still gets talked about from time to time , and I still read some of the pieces in the book when I feature.
Still available after all these years. The secret? Overprinting!

The hay(na)ku is a poetic form/haiku offshoot created by Eileen Tabios. I thank her for introducing me an many other blogging poets to the form and editors Jean Vengua and Mark Young for including me in this anthology, published three years after the first (giving me time to work on my craft after being rejected for Volume I). Learn more about hay(na)ku here and read my poem "Summer's Back" in the book.

The Bagel Bards is a group based in Somerville, Massachusetts that invites local writers to meet every Saturday at Davis Square. For three years, they've been putting out anthologies of this group's work. Their third collection came out in 2008. My poem "Jack Powers At Home" appears here among several other friends' work.

The second in the new series of print anthologies from Boston Poet and its editor, Diana Sáenz. I'm published beside friends such as Paul Hapenny and Deb Priestly, and it's a good selection of my work with three poems: “Another Work Poem,” On Your New Living Space,” and “Roommate." "Roommate" is from my Self-Portrait In Fire chapbook, and "On Your New Living Space" is from Discarded: Poems for My Apartments. If you're someone who's never bought my work before, this is a good introduction to me and the Boston/New England scene.

Eden Waters Press was founded by fellow Bagel Bard Anne Brudevold. The 2007 Home anthology is the first of her efforts. A collection of poems under the theme of home, this is where I first published "Discarded," which later became the title piece for my chapbook of roommate poems. Ther are also many other diverse writers (friends and strangers) to recommend this title to the average reader.

WHL Review is a well-regarded online lit mag. Find out more about it by clicking here. The print version, collecting a good chunk of its first year of issues, contains "Charon's Slow Day," an early version of a poem I later rewrote.

In 2006, thanks to co-editor Christine Gelineau and friend and fellow poet David R. Surette (who recommended me to her) I was invited to contribute to this anthology of poems and autobiographical essays from various Franco-American authors intended "...to provide a forum from which one could hear the wide spectrum of what it might mean to 'sound French.'” My own essay, as well as my poems "Dumb Mud" and "Homecoming," appear alongside the work of too many authors to name here. Being published in French Connections is one of my proudest moments as a poet. If you splurge on anything you see here, I hope it's this.

My first contribution to the group's annual anthologies was a (then) timely political sestina called "Go Team." It's the least of the reasons you should pick up this wide-spanning collection of poetic styles.
