Letters to Borges Coming Soon

Thanks to poet Seth Abramson for mentioning my forthcoming collection of poems Letters to Borges in his review of the best new books of poems for The Huffington Post.

Here’s a poem from the book:



For Anyone At All



After the clock was done with noon

The boy leapt up like a crow

To land in the great dictionary.


Like an ape he tore the pages,

Applied some paste with a stick

Until he held a doll of sorts,


A puppet made of words.

He could hear the neighbor’s

Children at a window: Hey


Blind boy—find us where we are!

Come on and guess!

He waved the pages then,


Making them bow and rise

Like nothing you will ever see.
