Another new 5-minute video with me reading two of my poems recently published in two anthologies. They’re quite different from each other and one of my goals with these new little videos is to try to show some of the diversity in my writing to people who may find some (most? all?) of it interesting.
Dead Lakes Mini-Fragment was published this summer in this anthology:
i torment my neighbors (may they rot in hell) was actually a reprint, somewhat infamous and popular at times, and it was an honor for a publisher to choose to reprint it once again. It appeared in this huge anthology published just last month:
A PITCH!!!
I’ve had this YouTube channel for a few years because I like to watch certain videos and have a number of playlists, but not because I’ve wanted to make videos, or occasionally but not enough to really pursue it.
That hasn’t really changed now, but certain other things have, so that my declining health status has provided impetus I may have formerly lacked in that I still write a lot, actually am pretty successful at it, and want to share what I can while I can and while I’ve not been a big social media fan (been off FB since 2016), I’ve had to gradually get back into some, like X, simply because a lot of magazines and publishers require social media. So I’ve been rebuilding old accounts and in some cases, really engaging for the first time with others. With my YouTube channel, I’m literally just getting into an account I’ve had for many years in terms of posting videos, but it’s been fun and I’d like to keep it up — casually — but more seriously, so in light of that, um… would be grateful for any and all new subscribers over there since there really aren’t any. And while a week ago, there were only three old videos, now there are six or seven and I have plans to add one-two more today, ideally, with many more being considered. I also want to think about additional things in this realm that might be worth touching on or if I should just stick to exploring my writings for the present. There’s not been enough time or feedback to really think of that, but if you’re over there, consider checking out my channel and subscribing and I appreciate it very much.
