In ELECTIVE AFFINITIES, In Great Company

I'm happy to be included in the new online cooperative anthology of U.S. contemporary poets- Elective Affinities edited by Carlos Soto Roman. The inclusion process is viral and ongoing, and I like that idea. There are also Elective Affinities anthologies for Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Italy, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela. Check out the links on the right side of the site.
