March 2014
I am excited to announce that I will serve as Writing Director and Special Events Director on the Board Mic Check Poetry, the official non-profit poetry organization in Bryan, Texas.

In related news, Mic Check held its annual Poetry Slam Finals March 3rd to determine who would represent the venue as part of the slam team and slam champ. I was fortunate to win the championship reading a new poem I am rather excited about.

Spilt Ink Poetry recently commissioned a poem about Miley Cyrus that will appear in their magazine in the next few upcoming magazine. I am honored that Charles asked me to write for the publication and I am quite proud of how the poem turned out.

new chapbook

        A short run of only 50 (very nice) hand-signed and numbered chapbooks will publish in about three months.
        The price and exact release date have not been confirmed yet, but everyone interested will be informed before the pre-sell begins.
        Contest #1 just began and will award a chapbook to each of the three twitter followers that retweet my posts the most until the  publication date.
        Contest #2 will also begin soon and will be announced via facebook, twitter, Instagram & this site sometime over the next week
