I am a contributor to a new Anthology called Out of the Depths: Poetry of Poverty, Courage and Resilience, which will be published on April 15th. You can find it on Amazon.

Alas, in my little bio it says I died in 2013.

What a surprise! I guess I died for Art.

Am I dead or aren’t I. Being dead would have benefits: cheap, no need for healthcare, food, housing, clothing or transportation. No taxes either.

But I think it might be too dull. Even at 63 I enjoy the pleasures of the flesh. I think I’ll just hang around here and pretend to be alive.
