Two things: I'm doing an author spotlight in the /r/books subreddit in about one week on Sunday, June 5, 11 AM - 6 PM (the thread title will probably be "IAmAn Author who traveled the US at eighteen and published a book about it. AMA."), and I just found out that I've been published again, this time online in Van Gogh's Ear: Best World Poetry & Prose for my sonnet "A Figment of My Imagination," one of my favorites. The post is May 27 under the link https://theoriginalvangoghsearanthology.com/ and here is that poem:
A figment of my imagination
Frequents as scream the swelling dream of night
Brought forth in potent exaggeration,
Familiar though it seems, yet more than tight
Than wide proportions of a common day
That cast no delusions and should repent
Fair consequence that stares and snares away
From constant scrutiny and overbite
For many a day sewn in tapestry
Of common dream from shouts of whim galore
That every waking has in tendency,
Rising into a hunch one should explore
That it should be that one alone will hear
The miscarriage of wind in his own snore.

Publication in bear creek haiku
New to issue #134 of bear creek haiku, my poem:
Sinking
Back into water,
Frog preserves a memory
Of separation.
