My ekphrastic poem “Van Gogh Hopes in Arles” has been published in The McNeese Review’s online journal Boudin.

Inspired by the series Van Gogh painted during his time in Arles, France (many of which hang in my home), this is my favorite of all the poems I’ve written. It has been held for final rounds and praised by several prominent journals over the years. I’m so glad it’s finally found a home at Boudin.
