For father's day this year, a poem I wrote for my son when he was little. Many thanks to the folks at the INDEX press for printing it as a letterpress broadsheet in 2024.

The Gold award for Fiction goes to Tamas Dobozy for "Tea with Interpol," published in @fiddlehd.bsky.social

With thanks to @narrativemag.bsky.social, I'm grateful to share the first new poem from my under-construction, new collection. This one is for all the other second-favorite parents and doom scrollers out there...

Original US Sonic pressing of Curtis Mayfield's Got to Find a Way (1974). These are getting harder and harder to find at a decent price. Purchased this copy at Beach Sounds in Toronto last year for $15. Sounds incredible. #botd #nowplaying #vinylcommunity #vinylcollection #vinyl #vinylrecords
