A Cathedral of Books
I’ve got news, folks. Ministers of Grace: Cherubim & Seraphim is finally with the last proofreader who’ll ever lay eyes upon it. The manuscript will be back in my hot little hands early next week, which means that I’ll be able to announce an official release date for it sometime this month. On a side note,…
Anodyne
Anodyne …it’s the body’s betrayal: microbiological entities that are incapable of dialogue or reason, just random injury that’s predicated on susceptibilities and sets of unpredictable hieroglyphs that determine the coriolis of the ear, the dusty webs of the irises, (…) the strictly elliptical orbits of the moons in my fingertips. …the prescribed medicine spreads, reinforcing…
The Anniversary & An Update
Status Update: I’ve been workingtoilingjobbing a lot lately—six to seven days a week, an average of nine hours a day—which means I’ve had little time for pretty much everything. It’s my hope that at some point in the relatively near future, I’ll be able to share the creative fruit of this financially recuperative endeavor. I’m still…

I definitely didn’t feel ready for change and transformation when they came to me, but I knew that if I…
Moraine
It’s no secret that I take after the confessional poets’ model, and this opus on love and loss is no exception. Later tonight, I’m going to burn a slip of paper that lists all the things I don’t want to carry forward with me into 2013, and what pains me most in this poem will…
Kinship: On Joy & Pain, on Agony & Anguish
For Bill, who proposed the idea, and Simba, who asked specifically… I. One of the fundamental perplexities of life is that joy and pain have such an intimate kinship with each other. On the surface, it would seem that their paths operate as strict geometric parallels, stretching out into infinity without ever meeting. Yet there…
The Great Sieve
A brand new one: five stanzas of thirty-eight syllables, nine-nine-nine-seven-four. ♥ EAB The Great Sieve If Truth is a universal force, it is manifest in Gravity: at its best, it unites heavenly bodies so they take orbit ’round each other, their paths set by fascination, by nuclear attraction creating chemical bonds not cut by any…
