An ELJ Broadside & The Cresset

Happy Leap Day to me!

I came home to two publications in the mailbox. My poem “Waking on Palm Sunday” is in the new issue of The Cresset.

My poem “Before Breakfast,” which I wrote in response to the photo “Sunflowers” by Debarshi Ray, was published as a broadside by Black Orchid Designs (ELJ Publications).

Thanks, editors!

More Books!

Good news! I’ve now got copies of The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman! It felt good to run out, but I’m happy to have some again in time for all of my March conferences (WTS in San Diego, PCA/ACA in Seattle, and AWP in LA).

If you don’t have a copy yet, you can get one directly from me: $10 by mail (covers shipping), $7 in person. (It’s also on Amazon, but it’s more fun to buy a signed one from me.)

I can also ship a signed copy to any person of your choice for any reason you’d like (Leap Day? Birthday? Easter? Mother’s Day? Talk Like a Pirate Day?). Check my contact page and send me an email if you’d like one (or even more than one… I’m open to group discounts if you want to buy a bunch!).

NOTE: I also have a handful of copies of I Awake in My Womb if you need to satisfy your desire for strange pregnancy dream poems. 🙂

Poetry Has Value

I’ve joined Jessica Piazza’s Poetry Has Value project for 2016, meaning I’ll be keeping a public record of my poetry submissions, fees, acceptances, payment, and rejections. I’m excited (and somewhat terrified) to be part of this!

If you’d like to see the parameters of my project and/or if you’d like to read a specific list of things I fear, here is my introductory post.

 

“The Book of L” in Rock & Sling

What an honor to have my poem “The Book of L” in Rock & Sling alongside work by fantastic writers I know: Karen An-hwei Lee, Devon Miller-Duggan, and Jessie Janeshek. I’m also loving poems by writers who are new to me, especially J. Morris and Rebecca Lauren. Wow! Thanks, Thom Caraway!
