It's about last year's shark attack in Wellfleet, MA, and also for my sons.  Five poets chosen for Cape Cod Times first poetry page - Lifestyle - capecodtimes.com - Hyannis, MA  

So great to see my poem "Bark" next to this beautiful image   https://uppagus.com and link to the poem   https://uppagus.com/poems/rogers-bark/

by Uppagus magazine! https://www.uppagus.com I was drawn to their mother-son editorial team.  I will post in April/August respectively when they will each appear.  Both poems look back at childhood. Drawing on fractured memories to reconstruct the lasting emotional truth of events is difficult and fascinating work.

I can't believe the MFA is over. I learned so much and will miss the community of amazing students and poetry mentors --  esp. Dan Bellm,  Jim Daniels, Victoria Chang, Carol Potter,  Jenny Factor...

I was delighted to read with these featured poets in a great art gallery space in Osterville, MA.  Alice was the guest editor of the issue of Cape Cod Poetry Review who selected my poem "Wellfleet" so I was able to thank her in person.

I just want to share a few poems recently published in the San Diego Reader. They are "all of a piece" --  facing what I hope will be a brilliant third act. https://www.sandiegoreader.com/news/2017/sep/27/poetry-60-lost-two-hundred-thousand-things/
