Some of my online poems
​& recordings

"Over the past couple decades I've published increasingly often online. Here is a sampling of poems from various journals & books. A Google search will turn up many more, for anyone interested in exploring further. Some of the sample poems below have appeared in my books and chapbooks; others are uncollected. (Some have been revised slightly since their first appearance.) 

A few links to recent video or audio recordings of me reading & talking poetry are also included.

Note: Starting in 2015, I've published regularly in the monthly journal Verse-Virtual. Much of my best recent work can be found in their archive:
