“Her Weight Is His” now available in Spanish translation

November 16, 2018 MSR

I’m delighted to share that my flash fiction story “Her Weight Is His” (first published in KYSO Flash) is now available in Spanish translation as “Su carga es la de él,” translated by Susana Cejas of Susurros Chinos in Córdoba, Argentina.

You can read “Su carga es la de él” online.

The translation also appears in print in the new Susurros Chinos anthology of flash translations, Instantáneas de ficción: Selección de microcuentos.

My thanks to Cecilia de la Vega, Susana Cejas, and Susurros Chinos for caring for the story in translation!

Learning To Forgive the Man I Don’t Want To Be

August 30, 2018 MSR

Issue 09 of STAND Magazine is officially out in the world, and it includes my essay “Learning To Forgive the Man I Don’t Want To Be.”

This is the most vulnerable piece of fatherhood writing I’ve done. I dug deep for this one and hope it helps others.

As ever, I deeply appreciate the continuous support of Editor-in-Chief Dwayne D. Hayes and everyone at STAND.

Poem: “Lady Liberty” (2018)

July 4, 2018 MSR

Have you looked

	into that face?
	That face

looks into you.

	She knows

her torch,
a burden,

	but keeps

her vigil,
loyal

	despite

your habits,
your forgetting.

Your turn
will come.

	Her prayer

will be
your lungs.
