What are you working on?

Last year I published two books in twelve months. It was gratifying but required attending to a lot of moving pieces. So now I’m back to just trying to write good poems,  then seeking good homes for them in literary magazines and journals pretty much anywhere in the world. That is space where I am very comfortable, and am enjoying being back inside.
