It was such a sweet night at Tick Tock Tavern! I signed a few books and spent time with some fabulous friends. Really grateful for the poetry community in the STL!

And it becomes a symphony, you repeat yourself but using different language...

I've heard it said that a novelist needs a good memory. But I think it helps a poet to have a really bad memory. In my case, by the time I get to the end of the poem, I truly can't recall how I started. #poetry

The little things in this life really count. My dear friend gave me a well needed toaster!

The only thing we can be relatively certain about is our marginal and persistent voice.

I said once somewhere that a streetlamp's as good as the moon. But as I looked upon the sun I had my doubts...#poetry

Wrote some glad verses today and hung out with my friends at Starbucks. As always!

You know, I don't know why but I never see anything controversial on here. Just sweet writers talking about their books or readings or offering up helpful advice. And sometimes I see flowers. I'm not complaining!

Like everyone else, I guess, I think about assonance and alliteration all the time. And I still think you've got to be very careful with it! #poetrylovers

It might not technically be a residency but I am a resident and I am writing poetry. So, it's cool...

@CoffeetownPress Should one dream of a posthumous readership or a coeval readership? Asking for a friend...#poetrylovers

When I was young I'd make a bunch of chapbooks at my dad's little print shop and then hand them out to family and friends. I guess not TOO much has changed. Here's my buddy James with Dopamine and the Devil from @CoffeetownPress!

@CoffeetownPress Do you poets out there kind of go back and forth with regard to your feelings on your poems? Today was thankfully a good day...but there are other days...

If you're not in the STL and would like a copy of Dopamine and the Devil you should be able to get one online. Very excited! Thanks to my friends! #Poetry @CoffeetownPress
