Two poems, “Ambient City” and “Painted Sky,” appear in the anthology IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF A SHADOW: NORTH AMERICAN RESPONSES TO FERNANDO PESSOA (Madhat Press, 2/2025), edited by Charles Cutler, Dan Mahoney, and Gaby Gordon-Fox.
“Fernando Pessoa enters the imaginations of these gifted American poets like a frightening medicine, challenging them to self-divide, multiply, re- nounce stability, and relish in the dead-time that our culture so vehemently abhors. Like a slippery thorn in the myth of bigger, better individualism, Pessoa seems to have privately solicited these poets for disturbing conversations about nothing: a nothing that he promotes as everything.”
