Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Have A Poem The Size Of The Moon is a book of poems about Nebraska. Not cornfields, not cows: Cities, highways, long drives and the political conversations simmering. Between Meteors and Fireflies In a drought year, corn stubble bends into Headlines: "Farmers pray for rain." Tumbleweeds take time to harmonize and choreograph, somewhere between meteors and fireflies. The grocery sells blueberries all year round, but the charge card feels heavy as a refrigerator once you slip it from the wallet. You don't end up buying the magazines, just browse. It's a tow truck, doorbell button, garbage disposal broke summer: no real difference between a silo and a paper sack, it seems. And in the hallway, light glows from under the bathroom door.
