I
meant to have this new website up a year ago, but moving to Europe last summer,
then to England & Scotland for the fall & winter, disrupted much of my
writing-related plans such as finishing my long poem from 2017, rewriting my
not-even-close-to-being-finished novel, and reworking several medium-length
poems that I feel somewhat satisfied with.
However, unexpected interruptions of old projects aside, this unexpected
journey did indeed inspire quite a bit of new writing. One such new piece in particular is a poem of
Gothic fantasy written under the influence of despair & madness beneath a
full moon at Whitby Abbey while I wandered alone long past midnight—I will
never forget that night and I can still feel its cold influence. The poem, somewhat medium-length at 15
stanzas and 150 lines, will be published in a small New York press later this
year along with four other poems of mine.
