The final poem in my “Archives” series, “Archives of Spring,” is out in The Decadent Review. The whole series can be accessed here. Enormous thanks to Dimitri Kaufman, editor of The Decadent Review, for presenting these poems in such a wonderful fashion over the past year. And if you want links to each individual other poem, here they are: “Archives of Summer,” “Archives of Autumn,” and “Archives of Winter.”
Publications
“Cute Noise Indeed” in Who Dis?
A short poem assembled from language from a few of my tweets (below), “Cute Noise Indeed,” has been published in Who Dis?, “a journal of fake poems for the misinformation age.” [The journal quickly went defunct after this, so go here for a PDF of the poem.] The journal has “NO MASTHEAD NO CONTACT NO TRUTH / NO GODS NO IDOLS NO MATTER,” and “all appearances are by determinative actions employing chance.” As such, I did not compose this poem nor am I responsible for its publication, despite being listed as its author. The original tweets it was assembled from:
“2021.05,” “2022.03,” and “2022.04” in The Kitchen Sink
As I mentioned in my last post, my work appeared in two different publications today. The second: More sonnets from my ongoing sequence, “2021.05,” “2022.03,” and “2022.04,” are in The Kitchen Sink, a brand-new publication based in Oneonta, New York (where I currently reside) run by recent graduates of the State University of New York at Oneonta. Thanks to Alexis Ochi and the other editors for accepting my work. I’m also thrilled to have these poems published alongside work from one of my students at Hartwick College.
“2021.06,” “2022.01,” and “2022.05” in IceFloe Press
My work appeared in two different publications today. First, I’m thrilled to have more recent sonnets from my ongoing series, “2021.06,” “2022.01,” and “2022.05,” as part of a series of pandemic “Dispatches” at IceFloe Press. Thanks especially to Robert Frede Kenter for championing these poems and for the amazing visual poem collage he made to accompany my work.
“2022.06,” “2023.02,” “2023.03,” “2023.04,” and “2023.05–06″ in D.O.R (Deadly Orgone Radiation)
I’m delighted to have “2022.06,” “2023.02,” “2023.03,” “2023.04,” and “2023.05–06”—five very new sonnets—out in the second issue of D.O.R (Deadly Orgone Radiation), the journal publication of Lachlan J. McDougall‘s press, LJMcD Communications.
“Archives of Winter” in The Decadent Review
The third poem in my “Archives” series, “Archives of Winter,” is out in The Decadent Review; spring is forthcoming. (“Archives of Winter” originally appeared at Dispatches for the Poetry Wars, and was reprinted in the Poetics for the More-than-Human-World anthology.)
“2022.02” in Apocalypse Confidential
I have a new sonnet, “2022.02,” in Apocalypse Confidential.
“Archives of Autumn” in The Decadent Review
The second poem in my “Archives” series, “Archives of Autumn,” is out in The Decadent Review. Winter and spring are forthcoming.
“Archives of Summer” in The Decadent Review
The first poem in a short series, “Archives of Summer,” is out today in The Decadent Review. Further poems—“Archives of Autumn,” “Archives of Spring,” and a reprint of “Archives of Winter”—will appear in The Decadent Review as the year progresses. The “archive” poems are some of the final unpublished poems from my recently completed manuscript, Postrock.
2022–25 Cora A. Babcock Chair in English at Hartwick College
I am thrilled and honored to announced that for the next three years (2022–25), I will be the Cora A. Babcock Chair in English at Hartwick College. This position will support continued work on my current scholarly book project, Too Big to Read: The Megatext in the Twenty-First Century, the publication of my just completed poetry manuscript, Postrock, and my next two books of poetry, 2018–202X: Sonnets and Synthwave.
For a glimpse into this work in progress, see my recent essay, “‘Is an Archive Enough?’: Megatextual Debris in the Work of Rachel Blau DuPlessis,” and some select poem(s) from Postrock and from 2018–202X: Sonnets.
I also get to host an annual Babcock Lecture for the duration of the appointment [stay tuned].
