surprise

Today I woke up to a nice surprise: I appear as a featured poet on G Jamie Dedes’ site The Poet by Day, an amazing information hub for poets & writers. It was not enough for her to feature just three of my poems! She almost staged my whole WordPress site, showcasing my bio, photo, academic work reference & my chapbook & other poems’ links! Bloody! Who does that? She has been extremely supportive of my work all through, I can’t thank her enough. But this ain’t no surprise, those who know Jamie know she’s doing a great job not only for the literary community but for social justice, sustainability and peace! Cheers Jamie!

Thanks everyone!

Delighted to have a poem included in the new release from Better Than Starbucks (May 2018 Vol. III No. V; print & online)! Many thanks to the editors for featuring “to be is to bleed away“. Another poem that takes root in Cuba and draws crosses under the moving shadows of José Marti & Ismaelillo.

how long would it take for the braille to shine

Pleased to have had my poem “how long would it take for the braille to shine” featured in a unique artist-run journal The Apache Poetry Blog operated from Sweden (February 21, 2018). Each poem inked in the journal is accompanied by an illustration that conjures the evocative abstractions of the poetic piece. Many thanks to artist & editor Janne Karlsson for this honor!
