Battling Pianos and Bukowski: Two New Poems Published in Word Fountain Literary Magazine!

Who says 13 is an unlucky number? Not me!



Issue #13, one of the Word Fountain Lit Mag's largest publications is out for the Spring/Summer edition. I am proud to share my name among the pages of this magazine with so many talented individuals. Two of my poems were accepted, "Coming Back to Bukowski," a work inspired by a classic writing situation and a trainwreck of a poet and "From Another Life," describing a slice of the past.



Here is an excerpt from the first poem.



From "Coming Back to Bukowski"

Dispirited, I flip through piles of books
looking for something new,
something to bring on some fire.
Instead I stare down Bukowski.

We’ve been introduced before.
I open Dog from Hell’s pages
readjust the glue
recover the nonstick binding.

He provokes me,
pours me a glass
of words.


If you enjoyed my work, please feel free to pick up a free copy from the Osterhout Library in Wilkes-Barre, PA or drop a line to David J. Bauman, Editor, and for a few bucks to cover shipping, you can have one delivered to your door in no time!.......
