Carbon Culture Review just published three of my poems.
Carbon Culture Review just published three of my poems. This is the third time they have accepted my poetry.
"The Serpent in his Hands" comes from the experience of my December 2017 bowel surgery and the image (a photo I have, actually) of my intestines in the hands of the surgeon.
Likewise, "Metaphysical Changes" reflects on mortality with one central image being the surgical scar.
"Comedy of Ions" comes from my reading ot the Wallace Stevens critical biography, "The Whole Harmonium," by Paul Mariani combined with the disappearance of the ice sheets in Greenland as our failures lead to the inexorable warming of the planet--leading to who knows what.
