Read More Voices behind the words : An interview series with writers (Interview #12, Jonah Finn of Crime Poetry)I know you’re shooting for the moon but could you please make a quick detour and gather up some stars for me?

Read More A shining replacementThis is a poem I wrote to commemorate and mark the 5 year anniversary of the Boston marathon bombing which occurred on 4/15/13. The marathon was held today on 4/16/18, and I was fortunate enough to catch the tail end of it after leaving work. First and foremost as a person who lives in […]
