Selected Poems

The links below will take you to a few of my poems, and to some of the magazines in which they appear.  All are copyrighted and I ask that you give credit to both myself and the magazines in which they were originally published if you pass them on to anyone.  If you wish to publish them either online or in print, please contact me at byrd.greg@spcollege.edu  Please also visit the journals whose editors were kind enough to include these poems by clicking on their names.
