Three of our poems, Terracotta Oil Lamp, Statue of Eros and Sarcophagus, will be published in Every Day Poets magazine, a Web 2.0 poetry journal online and in print The publication dates are TBA. We will provide links here when available.
The three poems were original conceived as one poem in three parts, but we have broken them out into separate poems at the request of the editor.

We are pleased to announce that two of our poems, Industry in Morning (Dedicated to Wiliam Blake) and Mad Shadows, will be published in the debut issue of Scarlet Literary Magazine, a new print magazine that will be appearing in July 2010.
Dark Eye Glances is an eJournal of dark, lyric poetry in traditional and experimental forms. We publish poets who have an implicit appreciation for traditional rhyming and metrical poems, yet are willing to explore new forms and techniques. Typically we will favor rhythmic poetry with dark, dramatic, metaphysical and psychological themes.
Our first issue will appear online in June 2010. We also plan to issue a print anthology of the best of 2010. Please follow our Submission Guidelines. Readers are welcome to submit recommendations for specific poets and poetry. We want to know what our readers like so we can give them more of it.
Two new books of ours have been published in July — a two-act play called Land of Milk and Honey, and a book of “performance poetry” called The Song of Songs. Performance poetry, like performance art, is simply poetry that is intended to be performed as a dramatic reading or as a stage play, but can also be read as a literary work.
Land of Milk and Honey is about a tough street kid named Moses who is haunted by “spirits.” When an outreach worker explains why he was born with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Moses becomes alarmed about the fate of his pregnant mother’s unborn child. Land of Milk and Honey has been workshopped by a professional director and cast but has never been produced.
The Song of Songs is a performance poem based on Solomon’s Shir ha-Shirim. The universal theme of love being stronger than death is played out in this poignant verse.
