Chapbooks, Collections, and More
Ephemeral Village
a chapbook collection of linked poems
Ephemeral Village is a collection of twenty poems that I wrote specifically to be a chapbook, all focused on the idea of a floating, transitory village.
There's a Calvino-esque sense to these poems, of holding up the details and idiosyncrasies of an imaginary place as a way to reflect and counter the ways we create meaning and truth and identity in our own ephemeral homes.
The book is available (at least to US readers) from Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and various other online bookstores. Here's a UK link from Foyles. And the first link that went live was this bookstore in Sweden. (Google is showing me bookstores in Finland, Denmark, and Taiwan, as well, on the first page of results--so check your own favorite, local source!)

The Market of Magical Goods
a chapbook of linked microfiction tales
Welcome to the Market of Magical Goods, a series of brief, fabulist visions of wonder.
Each story is exactly 100 words, offering a teasing glimpse into the true powers at work in the market.
If you want a taste of what these stories are like, I've posted one on Ko-fi, "The Seller of Rain in the Magical Market." They're brief and whimsical little stories that are easy to quickly read whenever you have a minute to spare.
Cities of Wonder, Rails of Irreality:
stories and poems of Yahm
The cities along the Yahm Railroad expose many mysteries of the cosmos—of language, meaning, and reality. Bringing together equal parts of the fabulist tales of Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities and the languid and evocative fantasies of Lord Dunsany, these thirteen stories and poems explore the strange realities of these cities...and perhaps of all cities. By the author of the Spire City series and the Arcist Chronicles, this collection combines a mixture of previously published work with new writings to create a whole that twists and juggles with the reality we think we know.
This collection brings together thirteen stories and poems with a fabulist/magical realist slant.
