New year, new poems

Just notched my first creative publication of the year. Look out for two fresh poems in Main Street Rag later in 2026! In the meantime, you can read my 2025 poem from Bridge Literary Arts Journal, “I miss my yinzer friends,” online now.

RIP City Paper

RIP Pittsburgh City Paper, 1991–2025. I’ll be looking for opportunities in the new year! By all means reach out at cobawill(at)gmail(dot)com if you’ve got tips, suggestions or opportunities to share.

Quills 2025

I won three Golden Quills this year for my spot coverage of a bill to scrutinize our crumbling rail infrastructure, health coverage of UPMC executives’ jetsetting, and my montly Transit Talk column. Congrats to all this year’s winners and finalists!
