Florida is still steamy. Swamps are bursting with greenery that lengthens before your eyes. Thunderheads tower over the Atlantic Ocean, turning it a strange green. Labor Day is the tipping point, when Autumn finally feels near, and I’m delighted to celebrate with new poetry.

My poem, “Bury Me Under Fallen Stars,” will appear in the Autumnal Equinox issue of the literary magazine Magpie Messenger. The Magpie Messenger is published by Curious Corvid Publishing, a publisher specializing in Gothic works and dark poetry.

On September 20, come celebrate dark poetry and dark winged friends.
