BURGESS NEEDLE
Burgess Needle is a retired school librarian who has been writing poetry in Tucson for thirty-five years. Much of his inspiration comes from his time as a Peace Corps Volunteer, as a teacher/librarian, as a resident of what is euphemistically referred to as ‘Mid-Town’ Tucson and the headlines from magazines and newspapers. His work has appeared in The Hiss Quarterly, Blackbox Manifold (UK), Kritya (India), Black Mountain Review (UK), Concho River Review, Red Fez, Centrifugal Eye, Raving Dove, Poetry Monthly International, Full of Crow, Origami Condom, Thirteen Myna Birds, Autumn Sky, Gutter Eloquence, Iodine, Quill & Parchment, Under the Radar (UK), Brittle Star (UK), Clockwise Cat and Flutter. The recently launched Rufous City Review includes one of his poems in their premier issue. His short stories have appeared in Black Market Review (UK) and Pig In a Poke. His most recent literary criticism has appeared in Future Cycle, where he critiqued the poetry collection “Water the Moon” by Fiona Sze-Lorrain. He is currently editing a journal he kept as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Thailand, and working on a novel.
