My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.

THE EMBER AND THE ECHOES
EPISODE 1: THE DEBT UNPAID The rain on the night of the Severing did not fall; it was a solid, weeping veil that drowned the world. It soaked through the midnight-blue velvet blanket, threatening to silence the weak cries of the infant wrapped within. The man who placed the bundle on the granite steps of the Iron Ridge Orphanage did not linger. He was a silhouette against the storm, tall and straight as a blade, his face a mask of terrible, empty purpose. He drove a dagger through the blanket, pinning it to the wood, the tip stopping a hair’s breadth from the infant’s side. It was not an attempt to kill; it was a punctuation mark. Attached to the hilt was a sodden scroll.

Smart phones, Humans and Aliens.
WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.
