The current issue of Waccamaw (Spring 2010: Number 5), published by Coastal Carolina University, was released this past week, and I am pleased to note that one of my new poems, “Narrow Road,” is among the works included.

In addition to “Narrow Road,” the volume features poems, stories, and essays by Marci Ameluxen, T.J. Beitelman, David Bruzina, Alec Bryan, Kelly Grey Carlisle, Gregory Fraser, Hannah Gersen, Bernadette Geyer, Melissa C. Johnson, Nick Kocz, Shara Lessley, Keith Montesano, Tony Morris, Scott Owens, Joshua Robbins, Ethel Rohan, Chuck Rybak, Edmund Sandoval, Corinna McClanahan Schroeder, Sheila Squillante, Gretchen Stahlman, Sarah Sweeney, Matt Tullis, Eugenio Volpe, Valerie Wallace, Kelcy Wilburn, and Suzanne Zweizig, as well as an interview with Padgett Powell.

I invite all to visit Waccamaw to read “Narrow Road” and to examine the rest of the contents in this latest issue of a fine literary journal.
