Resharing this piece published in @GooseberryPie99 that @jeff__harvey nominated for the @MonarchQLA. It's a little weirdo and part of a larger series... pieces scattered around the internet and in print... Thanks again, Jeff Harvey for publishing it and nominating it.

It's wonderful to be part of this @RedOgreReview issue. I published with them when they first started, and it's so nice to see them still putting together an eclectic journal of writing, art, and sound. Thanks, Matt and editors! ogre.red/issues/2026-10/2026…

To the cosmic void (ha!): I'm going radio silent on Twitter. Never been on Facebook, Instagram, Substack, etc. Only joined Twitter in 2010 to promote UCity Review. Don't trust social media. Never have. Never will. I will leave this account active for now.

Dearest stranger, May your hours be peaceful...the windows flung open to a garden of music that never dies... 🎹 My latest improvization - a modern ballad with a classical Chopin-inspired twist. "What Chopin told me"🌹🎶 #original #piano #music #composition #modernclassical
