in tooting my own horn about a couple of recent publications and such, which I think also devalues the outlets that saw fit to give me some room, so here you go:

My poem “First Letter Home” appears in the “soft launch” of the new e-Zine Spindle ( http://www.spindlezine.com ), created and edited by the always picky Guy LeCharles Gonzalez ( loudpoet ). As this is a site devoted to NYC and I’m not a New Yorker by birth or relocation (though a large section of my heart resides there), I’m very proud to be in this one, and that this poem is the one that’s there.

“Lady in the Harbor” appears in the current issue of The November 3rd Club ( http://www.november3rdclub.com ). (Gee, a New York thing again. Hadn’t noticed that before now!) Seriously, this site’s important for its central effort to create a site for discussion and display of the ongoing struggle to reconcile solid political thought with solid writing. Victor Infante ( ocvictor ) and crew are making this a prime destination for this sort of work. Many thanks. (If nothing else, go read the current issue for the great discussion on what makes for good political writing.)

More are in the pipeline, but I’ll talk about those later.

Finally, I was interviewed last night for a segment on Eadon’s Place ( http://www.eadonsplace.com/ ), a relatively new Internet radio station devoted to the spoken word 24/7. It’s run by old time Nuyorican slam master Keith Roach and southern NJ/Philly poetry organizer Linda DiFeterici, and features shows and recordings with all kindsa folks from now to back in the day. (Think Moondog, think the Rev, etc.) Interview should be up next Sunday — will let you know.
