Here’s the roster of poets in “White Winged Doves: A Stevie Nicks Poetry Anthology” forthcoming from Madville Publishing in 2026.
Goodnight, Roberta Flack. ❤️
Submissions are closed for the Stevie Nicks anthology and Megan Volpert and I are busily reading and making selections. Stay tuned!
Fantastic poem!
It's always a great day when the contributor copies arrive! Excited to be included in the Fall 2024 issue of South Carolina Review with so many poets I admire, including @collinkelley.bsky.social and @allisonfieldbell.bsky.social #booksky #poets
For David Lynch
(From “Wonder & Wreckage: New & Selected Poems”)
RIP David Lynch
David Lynch inspired my poetry and fiction, entertained and disturbed me in equal measure, and was the textbook definition of an auteur. His loss is immeasurable.

Love extended deadlines! Time to write and submit more Stevie Nicks poems.
Thanks, @davebonta.bsky.social !
Megan and I have heard from quite a few poets that they need a little more time, so we’ve extended the deadline for the Stevie Nicks poetry anthology until Feb. 12. Send us those poems, you wild hearts! 🔮🕊️🎩 madvillepublishing.com/submission/
Happy New Year
The “Sugarcane” documentary is devastating to watch. The filmmakers’ decision to frame the horrifying discoveries with long silences and wide vistas of British Columbia is beautiful and chilling. You won’t be able to stop thinking about it.
Oh, those long-distance love affairs… #poetry
If I see one more goddamn social media conspiracy post about drones and UFOs, I’m taking hostages. Get a life, people.
A persona poem inspired by the great silent film “The Wind” starring Lillian Gish. #poetry
Many thanks to South Carolina Review for publishing “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye” in the new Fall 2024 issue. I’m out of the submission loop now, so if this is the last one then I’ve gone out on a high note and with a fantastic journal. ❤️ #poetry
I hope you got a chance to watch our readings on Mon., Dec. 2nd, and Tues., Dec. 3, but if you didn’t, you can watch them on YouTube!

I'm about to embark on a new adventure as the editor of LGBTQ+ news outlet Georgia Voice. The next four years are going to be challenging for the community, so providing factual news will be vital.

Went to a late night screening of “Wicked,” which I enjoyed more than I thought I would despite its ridiculous three-hour runtime.
My friend, my friend, I was born
doing reference work in sin, and born confessing it. This is what poems are:
with mercy
for the greedy,
they are the tongue’s wrangle,
the world's pottage, the rat's star.
— Anne Sexton
A poem from my new & selected collection, “Wonder & Wreckage.” I’d never heard of terminal agitation until I became a caretaker for my mother after her cancer diagnosis. #poetry
