Many thanks to Lisa  Zaran, the editor of Contemporary  American Voices, for making me the featured poet for the June issue and publishing five of my poems. Even more exciting is the fact I got to pick the poets for this month’s issue, which include my fellow Ph.D. colleague at SUNY Binghamton, Jason Allen, and PA-based poet David J. Bauman, whose blog, The Dad Poet, you should check out now. To read all of our poems, click here.

I also want to note that I’ll be reading with David this Saturday at the Scranton ZineFest. The reading is at two, and the event will be held at the Tripps Park Community Center, 2000 Dorothy St. in Scranton. Here’s a list of the other readers, and I’ll post more about ZineFest mid-week.
