Surprised This Morning
April 28th, 2009 § Leave a Comment
This morning the weather outside was not what I’d expected.
We’ve had a number of bright sunny days with hardly a cloud in the sky lately and I’m getting quite used to it. So much so that when I poured my coffee at the kitchen window this morning I looked out to see snow and got that “Christmasy feeling”. This promptly made me somewhat sick in the stomach. I was however, able to keep my breakfast down and go about my day, but not without a certain disappointment running through.
In honour of the morning and that scene that presented itself to me I’ve decided to read a poem from my forthcoming book called “Early Spring”. Hope you enjoy.

I posted a while back that I have two poems up at Seen Reading as part of National Poetry Month. One of these I posted here previously and the other I will post now. It’s a cover poem written by a friend of mine named Jacob McArthur Mooney. Check it out and also check out his book, the New Layman’s Almanac.

Poems in Paragon

Paragon2
A journal of literary produced by the English Department at Memorial University has released Paragon2. I mention this because I have three poems that have appeared in it that you might want to check out. There are a few other good writers in this issue, in particular Violet Browne who took the same practical criticism course with me during my undergrad. It’s always good to see a journal focused on student writing that mixes more established writers to create an interesting collection. Anyway, you should buy it and, if for no other reason, read the three contirbutions I have made to Paragon2.
