Below is a list with a few of the anthologies that my poems have appeared in. I’ve selected those that are more popular and hopefully still currently in print. Generally poets get a one-off fee for a poem to appear in a collection such as these, and the books reference the person who selected the collection, as there is no editing involved. You should be able to find any of the titles below in online stores. If you want any of my own books they are listed separately on the Books page.
