"STOP"
Crime poetry weekly, The Five-Two, has featured a number my poems recently, including "STOP" on September 28, 2026.

Under "F.I. confesses", at the end of the poem, I state: "Words have meaning. Those meanings matter because they give words power. But authoritarians pervert language to serve their own agenda. As someone who's always made my living using words, who carefully chooses words to most clearly communicate my meaning, I find the abuse of words in service to fascism offensive."

You can also listen to me read "STOP" on editor Gerald So's YouTube channel.


"Purr Therapy" and "Capitalism"

DarkWinter Literary Magazine published two very different poems of mine, "Purr Therapy" and "Capitalism", on September 28, 2026.

"Purr Therapy" describes the known therapeutic benefits of kitty purrs while "Capitalism" shows the marks capitalism leaves on the world around us.

An independent online publication in Ontario, Canada, DarkWinter Literary Magazine focuses on short fiction and poetry.
