The Frostburg Center for Creative Writing has been
doing a lot of great things for the literary arts in
the Western Maryland region, including sponsoring
readings, hosting writing workshops, and
promoting the literary arts.

The News:
1/12
On sabbatical so staying full time
in New York. Token Entry: New
York Subway Poems is to be
released in a few weeks
(finally!). I've been working on
short stories and new poems.
Also, I am now a columnist for
Highbrow Magazine; I'm writing
for their books section on the
state of the literary arts.
8/11
Have been working on a novel
for just about a year and it looks
like it's almost done. Am also
putting the finishing touches on a
collection of prose poems, Notes
for the Novice Ventriloquist. The
subway anthology--Token
Entry--plods onward.
5/11
Am officially an Associate
Professor. Tenured.
2/11
Vanishing Horizon is officially out.
It looks beautiful. Thanks to
Anhinga Press for all their good
works!
11/10
In New York I spoke about Italian
American punks at the Calandra
Institute, read at the AIHA
Conference, and have been
working steadily on the novel.
I've seen more versions of the
galleys for Vanishing Horizon, but
it looks good. The subway
anthology is close to being done,
too. All in all, a good few weeks.
8/10
We're in full blown book
production mode! Anhinga is
working on Vanishing Horizon,
which will be out with the New
Year. I'm very happy to have
cover art by my friend, the
talented Beth Piver! Small's
Press is also working on the
anthology I'm editing, Token
Entry: Poems Celebrating the New
York Subway.
And here's a link to Jan Beatty
interviewing me on WYEP's
"Prosody"
on December 5.
