Because paper was hard to come by, Abraham Lincoln handwrote a daily routine on the inside page of a book. This act of restricting his day actually made the important stuff more tangible. (Talk about undermining my schedule, I just spent a ridiculous amount of time looking for that handwritten image I hold in memory!)
Back to the poems. I’m thrilled to be included with such talented writers in Otata 40 (April, 2019) and filling Station Magazine, Issue 71 – Science & Technology in Experimental Literature. Sharing my writing connects me with something beyond my solitary writing life. I feel connected to a global ecosystem of close readers who notice more than what’s written in the text. We see how things are framed and why space is necessary. The absence of space is a statement, too.

My darkly dry sense of humor is a blend of silliness and seriousness. In filling Station Issue 71, two of my ASCII translations found a home. The poems arise from my floppy disc translations. No, these are not intended as ASCII poems in the concrete sense. These translations reflect the many ways symbols might be interpreted.
Purchase the printed filling Station Magazine to view my poems.There might be a line or feeling you connect with. I hope you’ll check them out.
