I have a poem in the new issue of Bluestem Magazine! Huzzah!
I highly recommend the poem by Erin Elizabeth Smith. And I loved the poem by Sarah Hulyk Maxwell. Apparently I really like poets who use three names?
Thanks for including my work, Charlotte Pence!
The past week has been full of wonderful poetry-related stuff…
On Tuesday, I finished drafting the first section of my biblical fragmentation project, tentatively titled All That Remains, and I realized that I’m doing a really strange sort of lectio divina. I’m looking forward to submitting some of these poems to literary journals in the coming week.
On Wednesday, I had my favorite haiku I’ve ever written accepted for publication in an anthology from Chuffed Buff Books.
On Thursday, my morning began with coffee, bagels, and good conversation with Nicelle Davis, one of my favorite poet-friends. Then I got to have lunch with Brett Foster and attend his poetry reading that night, which was wonderful. It’s always nice to meet another friendly poet. Also on this day, I had a poem accepted for publication in The Wallace Stevens Journal.
Today, I heard that The Emerald Issue of Fairy Tale Review is going to print, and it includes my poem “No Place Like,” in which an aged Dorothy is obsessed with painting everything green. I was pleased to get a shout-out in the press release, and I’m so excited to read this Oz-themed issue!
I could really use more weeks that are this full of productive writing, good news, and fellow poets!
I’m pleased to have three of my art-inspired poems published in an anthology called In Gilded Frame, just out from Kind of a Hurricane Press. Follow the link to the press’s website to read the free ebook version or to purchase a print copy.
My three poems in this anthology are “How to Appreciate Art” (inspired by Jessa Huebing-Reitinger’s “Courtnie” painting at the Johnson County Library), “Symmetry Drawing 72” (after M.C. Escher’s painting of the same name), and “The Museum Bowl” (inspired by the 2010 Super Bowl and the wager between the teams’ city museums).
I’m so pleased and honored to have the final poem from The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman, “Where Death Is Not an Is,” featured on Verse Daily today!
I hear that first edition copies of I Awake in My Womb have been mailed, and the second edition is in the works! Thanks again, Yellow Flag Press!
You can order a copy here.
And thanks to my friend Emily for sending a photo of her copy!
If you didn’t get a copy of Tea with Ezra the first time around, you’ll get another chance soon! The wonderful editor of Boneset Books, Emily Capettini, has told me that she intends to do the second run of Tea with Ezra as a winter project with a spring release.
One copy of Tea with Ezra is enjoying the beach in San Diego. Thanks for the photo, Jenn Tracy!
I’m on Amazon! This is true in the sense that I’m ordering a new hummingbird feeder, and it’s also true in the sense that my poetry chapbook, The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman, is available for sale!
Great thanks to Point Loma Press and Wipf and Stock for wanting to publish this collection and for giving these poems a gorgeous cover.
I received my copy of Tea with Ezra in the mail today. I love this crafty, hand-bound chapbook!
Thanks to the wonderful Emily Capettini and Boneset Books! I’m honored that you put so much work into sending my poems out into the world.
