‘Uncurated’: Letter to editors@[a literary magazine].org (although I may send it to many more as this is still standard)
really think you should reconsider whether something appearing on personal blogs and social media count as ‘previously published’ and so unacceptable, like Rattle.com does. As they say: Rattle does not accept work that has been previously curated, in print or online—poems may be self-published on social media, blogs, or message boards, but cannot have been published in books, magazines, or similar collections open to the public. We want to be the first publisher to highlight the poems, but never want to discourage anyone from sharing their poems themselves. For more on this, read “Uncurated: The Case for a New Term of Art.”

Drawings from Fall 2007
I’ve long thought about putting drawings from this series into a booklet of some sort, but it just never gets made a priority and fails to happen. And as well, I can never agree on what else should go in alongside them, because a booklet needs more than 8 pages and needs some words, too.
Invocation collage, detail
Part of one of my collages. This one was done as a sort of invocation.
Self-Concept Commutative Telegrams
We think carefully of our issues and action plans / We think of each one being empowered to choose / Elements stack and align, each of our peptides has different things to say / In shade of gloaming shadow, the Piskies prepare the tricks for They
