3:AM Magazine Posts My Review of Andrew Bird’s Noble Beast

3:AM Magazine posts my review of Andrew Bird’s Noble Beast (Unfortunately, they changed my title from “An Uncalculated Blow to the Heart” to “Oh, Whistle and I’ll Come to You, My Lad.”)

You may find it on the front page HERE.

When you get a chance, please check out my first published fiction at elimae. The online magazine is edited by Cooper Renner. It’s great to be in the company of Norman Lock, Michael Kimball, and others. Here’s a link:
“Something, Fathered In the Wastes, Wormed Within the Body” at elimae

And be sure to check out the other stories, poems, interviews, etc.
