September 15, 2021 – I am happy to announce that Luca Bowles (a.k.a. Mambo) and I have received the contract for little punctures, our illustrated book of micro poetry, from Really Serious Literature (@rlysrslit) and we are in the process of getting that ‘bad boy’ signed and back into Barracuda’s hands. This project, the sophomore effort since my first book of poetry and short fiction Indelible Fingerprints (Alien Buddha Press), has been years coming and– thanks to @rlysrslit–will be a reality soon.
