The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman is now available in a Kindle edition!
I didn’t know the publisher was doing a Kindle edition, so this was a fun surprise. Thanks, Wipf & Stock!
You can still purchase a signed paperback version online or directly from me for yourself or someone else. Email me at KatMann @ gmail.com.
The new issue of Rogue Agent is live, and I’m thrilled to have “Baby Dream #33: The Fountain” included alongside some incredible poems and art by M. Brett Gaffney, Sally Deskins, Janeen Rastall, David Ishaya Osu, and more.
What an awesome third issue! Congratulations to editor Jill Khoury!
Happy two years to my first poetry chapbook, The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman!
If you want to get a copy for yourself or someone else, this one is still available from Wipf & Stock and Amazon, or you can be even cooler and buy a signed copy directly from me.
This still makes me feel like Jo March. 🙂
Check out the new issue of Rogue Agent, a great new online literary journal that focuses on the body.
I haven’t sent poems yet (on my to do list!), but I have a photo in the “I Feel Empowered When I Wear” photo gallery.
Thanks for starting this journal and including my photo, Jill Khoury!
I did a photo shoot as Harriet Potter for the Sundress Academy for the Arts 2015 calendar of gender-swapped literary characters. I’m so excited to be part of this project!
Pre-order a calendar here.
My guest blog post for Editing Addict is up this morning: “How to Submit Poems for Publication.”
I hope it helps someone!
Happy anniversary to my third chapbook, I Awake in My Womb!
These poems are based on dreams that I had immediately before and during pregnancy, and this chapbook has been fun for me to revisit now that I’m pregnant again. I’m glad that my dreams have not been so vivid or fraught this time around, but I’m also glad that I captured the bizarre manifestations of my anxiety the first time!
Two of the poems from this chapbook were nominated for The Pushcart Prize: thanks for that, Yellow Flag Press and Thrush Press!
You can read a few of these poems in online journals: “The Well” in elimae, “The Dream Job” in Fiction Southeast, and “The Minor Mutation” in TRIVIA.
Although this limited edition chapbook is out of stock from YFP now, I have a few contributor’s copies left to sell, so contact me if you’re interested.
I’ll close this anniversary post with the note from my acknowledgements page: “Thanks to Marthe Reed for her invaluable feedback on these poems and for our many talks about pregnancy and motherhood; to J. Bruce Fuller of Yellow Flag Press for his enthusiastic affirmation; to Elliott for simply being; and to Jon for sharing all of the identity crises, horrors, and profound joys of parenting with me.”
Happy anniversary to my second published chapbook, Tea with Ezra!
These poems, especially the ones based on fairy tales, are some of my very favorites to share at poetry readings. They’re also some of my favorites to read aloud in private: my son often grabs this chapbook off of the shelf by my desk and asks me to read “Mommy’s poems” to him. 🙂
I received The Nassau Review‘s Author Award for Poetry for “Sleeping Beauty’s Mother,” and most of these poems appeared in cool journals before I collected them into this chapbook.
This lovely little handmade chapbook from Boneset Books sold out in pre-order, but the publisher intends to do a second run soon. Thanks to Emily Capettini for publishing this collection, thanks to everyone who bought a copy, and thanks to Jenn Tracy for the awesome book-at-the-beach photo.
While you wait for the second run, I have a handy electronic version of Tea with Ezra that I’ll be happy to share with you if you contact me.
Here’s an interview up at Poets’ Quarterly with the wonderful Nicelle Davis about The Living Poetry Project. I’m honored to be mentioned in her “currently reading” answer.
My guest blog post went up yesterday at The Junia Project. If you’d like to read my thoughts about a terribly unsuccessful campus interview, or if you’d like to read my thoughts about how feminism and Christianity work together, then take a look.
