Pax Americana Issue #11.

Pax Americana, one of my favorite poetry and prose journals, just published its 11th issue. This issue features poetry by the members of the Poetry Brothel, which I am part of. I'm very thankful to be part of this amazing issue, which features many of my fave whores/poets. Check it out here!

Narcissism has its benefits...

Ok, so like some asshole I was googling myself over the weekend and I found a poem that I thought was only available in print online from like 2006. Here's a link to "To Ganymede, Before Your Move to Mount Olympus". I wrote this poem after seeing this piece in a Rauschenberg exhibition at the MET:


It was about the myth of Ganymede. Looking online I found another piece by Rembrandt (The Rape of Ganymede), which I'd seen in the flesh (maybe). This piece was the actual inspiration for the painting. Just felt bad for the poor boy! Look how he's peeing cuz he's so afraid! Anyways, read the poem here.







P.S., that's the last time I ever explain what inspires me.... J/K.
