Jesus in The City!


I'm excited to announce that two of my writings have just been published in issue 23 (Crime Scene) of The City Poetry (www.thecitypoetry.com), a zine which originated in Cleveland and is earning a well-deserved reputation as one of the best underground art and literature publications in the world.  This new issue features contributions by a fantastic assortment of fine poets and other artists, including a few of my best friends.

The City Poetry Press has also just published a superb collection of 40-some years worth of poetry and artwork by the legendary Steven B. Smith (who I once honored in my Favorite Poets from A to Z blog series).  Here's a press release The City Poetry's brilliant editor and publisher, Kathy Ireland Smith, posted on her blog at www.walkingthinice.com:

“Let’s face it Smith, if the song ‘My Way’ were written about your life, it would be lyrics by William S. Burroughs & music by Laurie Anderson, as performed by The Velvet Underground. The 45-RPM vinyl would have been a blue corrosion color rather than black, with Voodoo Lounge as the cover and ‘Voodoo Child’ as side B. And THAT my friend would be one highly collectible single.” - Steve Reynolds
