      You’re just stumbling through, like

      the rest of us. And I hold you

      Badlands Literary Journal: ‘Pequot’s a Fruit’

      Cholla Needles: Breathe Him Close, chevron at the intersection of consequence & redemption, Concerto, Endless Stories, Lake Sabrina, 1973, and Source Code

      Creepy Gnome Magazine: The Bear

      East Jasmine Review: Psychedelic Codeine Mobius Strip

      Inlandia: A Literary Journey: Across the Room, Bill Speaks, Boulevard Summer, Dad Survives His Third Open-Heart Surgery, Hilltop Sunset (Father’s Day, 1985), Oedipal Revenge Fantasy, PCH Sunset (New Year’s Day, 2016), Six-String Rising, and the wind loves the lost

      MungBeing: I Found Your Hair Ties and wild embrace

      The Pacific Review: Christmas Morning, Expected Miracles, Helping John Piss, and Ms. Guthrie

      The Vehicle: Loathing Las Vegas

      Life is collaboration and community, and in that spirit, I would like to give sincerest thanks to a small army of people without whom, this collection wouldn’t exist: Juan Delgado, Omar Moran, Julie Paegle, Chad Sweeney, Jacqueline Wilcoxen, Rosie Alonso, Alex Avila, Lloyd Aquino, John Brantingham, Chance Castro, Michael Thomas Cooper,
