Amethyst and Agate: Poems of Lake Superior

Nice Minnesota Public Radio story about the Lake Superior poetry anthology launch and reading in Duluth this weekend. It was a pleasure to meet Jim Pearlman, the other anthology editors and to meet and hear so many fine poets and artists who, like me, love the sweet water sea. Another highlight was the lyrical and inspired singing of Sara Thomsen.You can buy the anthology here.

Thanks Again, Jacob & JoAnne

As I contemplated applying to grad school again, I realized that the hardest part of the process might be getting letters of recommendation for my creative work. But I would like to thank two people who vouched for me.  Jacob  Silkstone, managing editor at the U.K. and Pakistan based international journal The Missing Slate , vouched for me by way of  the pieces  I'd published there. I also reached out to a professional writing contact, Judge JoAnne Kloppenberg, now  the presiding judge of the  Wisconsin Court of Appeals . I was lucky enough to have Jo Anne represent many of my decisions in the  environmental protection unit of the Department of Justice. She vouched for my quasi-judicial decisions and lawyerly writing. With their help, I was accepted into the  MFA program  in fiction at Augsburg College in Minneapolis.  Thanks to both for your support, and more on Augsburg in a later post.

Story Forthcoming in Rosebud

It's the fifth of my my group of linked stories to be published and especially meaningful to have it published in magazine I've long admired. Many thanks to editor Roderick Clark.
