Bewildering Stories welcomes...

Michael J. Collins

Michael J. has graciously supplied his middle initial, because he’s the second contributor — after the Managing Editor — to have a fellow contributor with almost the same name. Mike is a graduate of Eckerd College with a double major in Marine Biology and Creative Writing. He has traveled the world and worked as a scientist, writer and teacher.

“Red Dancer,” though a short poem, will intrigue readers with its mystery. What might “red chrism” be or signify? And approaching sirens might be taken figuratively, as a conscience saying, “Better not go there.” The poem will engage readers in speculation about the character of the narrator.

Welcome to Bewildering Stories, Michael. We hope to hear from you again soon and often!
