My new flash piece is up at Variant Lit! I wrote about an unnamed extra in the β€œI am your father” scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.

Good question! The anthology: No Boundaries: Prose Poems by 24 American Poets, Ray Gonzalez (Editor) -- this is from 2002. Maybe Linda Dyer doesn't have much of an online footprint. I just don't know. She's great!

I saw a deer eating Cheetos from a busted vending machine in a rest stop parking lot once and thought: this is the new pastoral. The meadow is Wi-Fi enabled.

Why can’t we just greet each other the way Dylan Thomas intended: Ho, hullaballoing clan, agape, woe in our beaks, flapping dramatically on the gabbing capes...
