My poem “Rhapsody in Sage” is part of Extrasensory Overload: an anthology of speculative excess from Angry Gable Press.  This book gathers all types of speculative short stories and verse in which the senses are stretched to their limits, mixed and mashed, and otherwise played with.  I’m honored to be included with all the wonderful writers in here (Angela Yuriko Smith, Ai Jiang… too many to list!). 

I had fun writing this poem after an evening hanging out with my mom and sisters during a family trip to the Oregon high desert.  The sky was vast and filled with bright stars.  At one point, my big sister stepped out onto the cabin’s deck, intending to demonstrate her stargazing app.  The tech didn’t cooperate.  My mind took it from there.  And she was a great sport about me memorializing it through a cosmic horror poem.
