My poem “Finishing” has been published in the winter issue of Up the Staircase. I will provide links to their journal below. Up the Staircase is a literary review that publishes quarterly and they are currently open for submissions. I would also like to congratulate my friend and fellow poet S. Thomas Summers for the publication of his poem “This is My Part” in this same issue, make sure you check his work out!
One of my poems due to be published in the upcoming issue #8 of Mississippi Crow Magazine is being previewed on Page Turner along with the work of a few other poets and writers. Below is a link that you can follow to check it out:
(For my mother)
You were a Xerox of him,
nine months printed, the flesh
colored ink of the womb still
drying. I wanted to ball you
up and pitch you like trash
into the waste-bin, listen
as you crinkle out of existence,
and then hit the print button again.

Mother, we grew
in your neglected garden.
We survived for eight
long years as we choked
on the thick thwart
of your hate, it sucked
the soil nutrients from us.
We had barely bloomed
the day that you plucked us
from the dirt.

The members of Poetry Pages and Kimberly Eddleman are back with the second volume to the Poetry From the Darkside Anthology.
Poetry from the Dark Side Vol. II pulls together some of the darker thoughts and emotions from the community at PoetryPages.com. Traverse the eclectic views and expressions of a family that while never housed under the same roof, share a bond that can not be bent, bruised or broken and strength to pull free of any dark abyss that may struggle to pull us under.Some of us have climbed out from under the shadows to lend a hand to those still trying. Others are just beginning their climb while a few have fallen yet will never be forgotten.
We invite you to step into our struggling world, to witness the paralyzing moments of fear and horror that make up our imaginations. Welcome to the darkness, leave your flashlights at the door, all you need here is courage.
