"Jazz"

My poem “Jazz” is up on the Poydras Review blog this morning. 

In other, larger news, the legendary poet Mark Strand passed away last week. It’s awful and sad but I’m honored that I was able to hear him read a few weeks ago at his 80th birthday tribute at the New School. Easing into this Monday morning by Googling some of his collages, which are as dark and brilliantly luminous as his poetry. His capacity to create melancholy beauty across multiple art forms was staggering. In honor of Mr. Strand, here is an interview he did in 2012 for Guernica magazine.
