The biggest news of all..
Available now for pre-order from Finishing Line Press:
Relict,
by Brian Mosher
Relict is the result of
the author’s struggle to figure out what the death of his father meant to him.
Does a person become something different on the day they no longer have any
living parents? A child becomes an adolescent, becomes an adult. A single person
becomes part of a couple, becomes a parent, becomes again single either as a
widow or through divorce. But we have no word for the stage of life that begins
once both a person’s parents have died. This book is an attempt to document the
feelings of grief, and to reconnect to a lost past through stories about
ancestors, all without losing sight of a hopeful future.
This title will be released on January 23, 2026

Poetic Visions at the True Grit Art Gallery was one of the most exciting experiences of my poetry life. Ten artists created paintings in response to my poem "Raymond Carver's Toaster" as part of this amazing exhibit. Four other poets also contributed poems, for other artists to respond to, and the opening reception was a jam-packed joy-fest.

I am beyond thrilled to announce that I've been working with a new publisher, Metaphysical Fox Press, who have just released a collection of my poems and song lyrics. "A Muster of Melodious Musings" is available now!
The poems are mostly from the last 8 years, the majority of what I've written since I put out "Moon Shine and Lemon Twists". Added bonus of song lyrics from over the last 15 years that would otherwise never see the light of day.
Short Story "The Scott King Affair" now available on Blue Villa! The Blue Villa editors call it, "a compelling and suspenseful ride, with strong, complex characters and a plot full of twists and tension."

On the 13th day of October, 2024, I had the great joy of being part of this amazing thing, Visual Inverse 2024. 22 poets responded to 22 works of art in the annual juried show at the Plymouth Center for the Arts (Plymouth Mass.). The whole event was captured by the local cable access channel. Every writer brought their A-game, and the entire video is well worth watching. But if you're in a hurry to see my bit(s), I read my poem at the 32:30 minute mark, then make another (surprise) appearance at about 53:50.
