Three soft shoes hidden
among the smokey rubble
played once upon a time.

Earlier this year, Edward Belfar’s new novel, A Very Innocent Man, was released by Flexible Press. The story tackles the opioid crisis and involves an unscrupulous doctor who willingly participates in fueling the opioid addiction crisis, destroying everyone in his path who tries to interfere with his profits and his upscale lifestyle.
Recently, I interviewed Belfar about the novel and his reasons for tackling such an important and disturbing topic. The interview can be found here.
Hello everyone,
Here’s an interview that Annalisa Crawford did with me and which just came out today.
Stay tuned for A Brief Gazelle: Poems of Love and Grief, to be published soon by San Francisco Bay Press, and Woman in the Abbey, coming in 2025 from Vine Leaves Press.
Thank you,
Mike
My short story, “The Herds” (formerly titled The Herds Are Charging Through the Room) has just been republished in the latest edition of Gargoyle.
“The Herds” is originally from my short story collection, Letters from Inside (Vine Leaves Press, 2019) which can be purchased by clicking on the button below.
Hope you enjoy the story.
As many of you know, my recent poetry collection, Let’s Call It Paradise, won the International Book Award back in June. The award comes with a nice little emblem that is now on the front cover of the latest edition. However, I still have a stock of books that do not have the emblem.
Therefore, I am selling signed copies of the old edition of the book, without the emblem, for a total of $9 including shipping (domestic only).
If you are interested, click the link below to purchase via PayPal or credit card, or simply send me an email.
