What are you working on?

In poetry, an untitled and unfinished series focussed on modern horsemen of the apocalypse: Fentanyl, Plastics, Global Warming, Populism, Colonialism, Oligarchs, Vanished Species, Greed. Not subjects I want to get involved with until, sometimes, late at night.

In prose, my 2021 novel Last Hummingbird West of Chile is still flying around and needs attention. Arabic rights have been sold. I am always rewriting short stories, and I am half-way through another novel set in Paris, Nice, Newfoundland, Yukon, Toronto.
