Hi!  A quick note here to mention that Callaloo Volume 32, Issue 4 is now out.  The issue features work from luminaries of African American and Middle Eastern poetry like Sonia Sanchez and Mahmoud Darwish.  Less impressively, it contains two poems (“How to survive in Detroit #32″ and “Recite!”) from yours truly!

Also, I’ve sold another story!  “General Akmed’s Revenge?” is my short-short slipstream-ish response to the crappy anti-Arab action movies of the 1980s.  It contains gratuitous Super Mario Brothers-inspired metaphors and is slated to appear in the March issue of Expanded Horizons.
