Over the last few years, I've been blogging about the works of my colleague and friend Adrian Matejka. Beyond writing poetry, Adrian has been a tremendous resource for me on the many scenes of poetry. He's read everyone. No really. If you have a volume of poetry or poems in multiple publications, Adrian has read your work. Three times.
He is the author of The Devil's Garden (2003) and Mixology (2009). His next book, The Big Smoke, will focus on boxer Jack Johnson.
