metazen published two poems by me // summer backyard reading series

metazen published my two poems 'no school three + four'. These poems are dedicated to Zachary Whalen and Steve Roggenbuck respectively. Much thanks and gratitude to the editor and close friend Frank Hinton and company. The poems are from my collection 'no school poems' which are bro love poems.

They are found originally in the comments section of a Zachary blog post here.

'no school one', which was dedicated to Crispin Best, was published by thunderclap press and can be found here.

'no school five', dedicated to Stephen Tully Dierks, is forthcoming from artifice magazine later this year.
