Come See Me at the 4th Annual New York City Poetry Festival
It’s that time of year again! What time of year? you may be asking. The time when we take off our shoes and lay around on the grass? The time when we buy food-truck morsels and have a picnic? The time when we take a free ferry to a free poetry festival and enjoy the…

Self-Promotion! (It’s Good Writing! Really!)
Sometimes I fall into the all-too-common trap of not wanting to sound like a broken record of self-promotion. I mean, not that I want to be that guy who’s constantly promoting himself. But this is my website. I’m allowed to promote, right? And to be honest, right now I don’t have a lot of time…

I’ll be at the Mardis Gras-themed Brothel at the Back Room the evening of February 23rd, dressed in all Fanny Firewater’s finer, sipping whiskey or absinthe, and providing private readings to…

A poem of mine, called “Broad Strokes,” went up on Friday over at Sound Lit Mag, a publication on contemporary music-poetics, and I’m super-excited! This magazine is so smart it makes my ears hurt. And they published me! Squee! Please, do go read!

Insomnia: A Poemy Thing by Lynsey G
Insomnia It is difficult to hold anything when your bones are made of chalk, when each footstep upstairs jangles like a trumpet blast. Alone in the living room, I lengthen the house’s soft gurgles into the slavering maw of the monster in my shadow, biting its cuticles. In the bedroom, you breathe softly while I…
