Inspired by @Katie_Dozier and @timothygreen advocating for more poetry in non-literary publications…this magazine goes to IEEE’s 400k members and as far as I know has never published poetry before
I have a new poem in the current issue of IEEE Spectrum (the monthly magazine of the largest professional organization for electrical and electronics engineers). If you’ve been looking for some rhyming couplets in amphibrachic dimeter, look no further: https://t.co/9FBi11nIHg

Unbelievably poignant. Jane was a gift.
from the inimitable Jane Greer-- Things are ending, or have ended, or will end. The pearls are strung with care, it is quite clear. There is no nothingness—but she can almost, some days, picture the world without her in it. https://t.co/w588BHDPfK Eternal memory.

It’s a treat to have a poem published in @JDVjournal — the issues are full of beautiful art, including custom illustrations for each original poem. Many thanks to editor @Fitzthewriter!

I enjoy my inside reading chair, but I live for these days on the front porch. Today, I am accompanied by @ithinkiamsteven Below the Brightness, John Moriarty, and my cat Patroclus.
