MY FAVORITE POETRY OF 2021 (Prologue) This past fall semester I taught the most I ever have (five days a week, split between two campuses). Surprisingly, I didn’t go to the wrong school once! This schedule took away my writing day, but I was still able to carve out time to write. I think Cate Marvin said in an interview once that the world doesn’t want you to write, that to write is to resist against the capitalist spin of the world.
Personally, this was a good year for me publication-wise. My chapbook, Small Town, was published by The Magnificent Field. I had two poems published as part of two different anthologies: The Little Black Book of Bedfellows and Belt Publishing’s The Indianapolis Anthology.Additionally, I had 15 poems published across ten different journals.
As always, these books are just my favorite, not a best-of list. There are many I didn’t have the time to read and look forward to reading in the future.

THERE IS THE TACO BELL WHERE YOU MET THE PERSON YOU LOVE
AND THE DEL TACO WHERE YOU MET THE PERSON YOU HATE
AND THEY ARE ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE TOWN

Running parallel elements you might encounter alongside Loess and Loscil, each piece opens vivid laid-back sound arrays, textures, tones and trips. Two
Wonderful review for the new EP from Glanko and Daniel Bailey at Igloo Mag. "Running parallel elements you might encounter alongside Loess and Loscil, each piece opens vivid laid-back sound arrays, textures, tones and trips."
