Last night at the Pandemonium Press Day of the Dead reading, I finished my slot with some of Carlos “Haiku Elvis” Colon’s poetry as a memorial. Carlos passed away suddenly this past Sunday.

Haiku Elvis Has Left The Building
I’m terribly saddened to learn of the sudden death of Carlos Colón, aka Haiku Elvis, yesterday. A huge loss to the haiku community and to the art of haiku itself. Tomorrow night I am reading at a Day of the Dead literary event. I will read some of his haiku in memoriam.

Another Paper Boy Story Published
I’m working on a series of short stories about a paperboy in 1970s suburbia. (Not the least bit autobiographical, honest!)

This is the fourth story from the series to be published, and the second by Unlikely.
Thanks to Justin Herrman, the fiction editor, and Jonathan Penton, the founding publisher.
