PNEWS

Pnews, March, 2025

1. My new chapbook of monologues and tales, FOUND VOICES, was published on February 8 by Clare Songbirds. It's available from all the usual retailers, but why not order directly from the publisher? Just $9.99! Here's the link to the author page.

2. I've been writing up a storm, and have just begun  circulating a new full-length poetry MS called
The Language of Belief. A lighter verse collection called Scattershots has also just been taken by Cyberwit. No announcement yet of possible publication date, but Cyberwit tends to get down to business quickly. I'm hoping to do a joint launch for Found Voices and Scattershots, as soon as the time is right.

3. I was a featured reader on the Virginia Voices podcast on March 12. Thanks to the co-hosts, Steve Bucher and Cathy Hailey, and to Terry Cox-Joseph, who shared the hour with me. Here's a link to the hour-long event: https://us06web.zoom.us/rec/play/ad1LNtOaFJZYbfNHvv2DuYeh9GX6h_9GwRXn8eHZDXwJXkhHFVHShUpXbJlkiwnMBPcbz55wbnlS01z5.mOpQoZtdwFhbq1_B?accessLevel=meeting&canPlayFromShare=true&from=share_recording_detail&continueMode=true&componentName=rec-play&originRequestUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fus06web.zoom.us%2Frec%2Fshare%2FLTnipeELUR2Uz9_sLWRc9jltPhjcfMW4AxQu0nxZya2Tv9X_sR9vMjY47MKdH7kG.CtYpe7JK_lN_5c8b

4. A long video interview recorded in February or March of 2024 has just surfaced. I'll add a link at the
Praise & Press tab. (Drop down at PUBLICATIONS.)


 

Pnews, December 2024

 

1. I have two poems in the December Verse-Virtual. https://www.verse-virtual.org/2024/December/kannemeyer-derek-2024-december.html

​

2. I have two pieces in a new anthology: 42 Stories Anthology Presents: Book of 42² (edited by B.A. Mullin). It features 1,764 micro stories of exactly 42 words, circulated through 42 genres. Each has a 42 character title (including spaces), and each author bio is also 42 words long. Too quirky to resist, right?

Look for it on Amazon!

A NOTE: PNEWS predating the current year or so, originating from after the creation of this website in the fall of 2021, is eventually moved to PNEWS CREVÉS. (Check it out at the PNEWS dropdown menu up top!) But for visual interest, and nostalgia's sake, plus a certain pinch of je ne sais pourquoi pas packrattitude, permit me to preserve a few past media pieces on the present page, as palimpsest.

UNSAY THEIR NAMES (2021)

 

         Unsay Their Names is a record, in photographs accompanied by commentary, of the 2020-21 statue removals in Richmond, VA, and of a city's transformation in the context of the BLM protests. It is also an exploration, in commentary accompanied by photographs, of what brought us, locally and historically, to this summer of reckoning. And it becomes a voyage of personal discovery, as I compare the impact of Confederate and Lost Cause history on race relations in Virginia with my own struggles (as a mixed race immigrant) for racial peace and justice.
