The Crowd He Becomes

The new DIAGRAM presents a poem of mine, from the new book, which, it now looks, may be out in January (!).

I'm on the radio tonight here in Mississippi. See you then.

Hi Jake,

I don't know if you'll remember me from our email exchanges over the years about my submissions to storysouth and thicket, but regardless, I just read your new poem in Diagram, and wow, what a great piece. very powerful writing. i especially
like the line about vulcan, and the idea that the red light can burn for some, but not others. i lived in bham for years, so all of it drew me in.

great writing, man.

ps. with your alabama connections, you might enjoy a new story of mine:
