First poetry acceptance of the year! I will be reading at a performance of Hayden’s Seven Last Words on Good Friday at the coolest bookstore in San Diego. I’ll actually be reading the first poem I ever saw published at a now defunct and sorely missed magazine [RIP The Curator]

Probably should have taken a family photo, you all look lovely. This nearly counts. My family’s most sacred tradition is the annual book exchange. There’s specific rules for the exchange we don’t remember and so we make up our own rules. Who knows what rules we’ll follow in 2025. Merry Christmas!

I was real caught off guard by how normal life felt after the initial shock of CoVid [and each prior and subsequent crisis] and how life just keeps going. I think, perhaps, Matthew 24:36-42 was bouncing around the back of my head when I was writing?
