A few literary journals have been kind enough to put my poetry online.

"canadian geese" from Sierra Nevada Review.  I was the featured author in this issue.

"cleaning the fish" from Portland Review.

"creation" from ExpressMilwaukee.com (the online incarnation of Shepherd Express, Milwaukee's alt-weekly newspaper).  Chosen by Susan Firer, Poet Laureate of Milwaukee.

"Kid Icarus" from Cavalier Literary Couture.

"King's Quest" (PDF) from The Southeast Review.  Also comes with a handy discussion guide (PDF) so you can begin talking about the poem with your friends, family, spouse, and sundry loved ones!

"Perfect Dark" from Cream City Review.  I was the featured author in this issue, presenting a selection of my prose poems about videogames, as well as an interview.

"Rad Racer" from Cream City Review, from the same issue.

"self-portrait with snow shovel" from Flurry*.

"surface tension" from Mid-American Review.  One of my favorites.  Also appears in Mead Lake, This.

Recently, I was mentioned twice(!) in a NewPages review of literary magazines.  The review for Sentence alludes to Drag:  Twenty Short Poems about Smoking, soon to be released as a chapbook by Centennial Press.  As a first hit, you can read poem #11.  The review for The MacGuffin quotes "the weather in paris," so I've put that poem online as well.
