Flying Higher: An Anthology of Superhero Poetry Is Available!

There are times when peer pressure can be a creative force. For instance… if you happen to attend a dinner with editors Michael D. Thomas and Shira Lipkin, you might discover that you are suddenly writing superhero poetry on the back of a placemat.

For an anthology.

So if you are interested in reading my first published piece of poetry since the mimeographed school newspaper in my elementary days, check out Flying Higher, for free on Smashwords.

There is also legitimately good poetry in there, too. Check out the table of contents.
