Upward and Onward, Vol. 2: Selected Later Poems, 2000-2020, will likely be my last collection of poetry for the foreseeable future. After that, I will likely be putting together a (first) collection of blog prose pieces (long overdue).
I am on the home stretch for the editorial/grunt work, but will leave publication till the fall (having been out of public for 5 months now). It is definitely, also, a pandemic-year book with a number of pieces about life in COVID wartime.
There are also a number of previous pieces that have been rewritten, poems that I’ve never published, as well as unpublished song lyrics, and several prose pieces about the craft of poetry.
Thus, Upward and Onward will be a unique, distinctly original collection like the previous ones. After its publication, I will publish any new poems on this blog, as they pop up, with more immediacy and momentousness.
