Poetry Has Value: May
Here is my May post, in which it’s my birthday, and I can shout about reading fees if I want to!
(♪♫ Shout if I want to, shout if I want to! ♪♫)

The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman Turns 3
With everything else going on, I almost missed wishing a happy 3 years to my first chapbook, The Gospel of the Bleeding Woman! It has a beautiful cover, but I especially love seeing adorned with a barcode and Dewey decimal number. Library books are cool.
If you want to celebrate with me, you could ask your local library to order a copy. Or you could send me a message and buy a signed copy for yourself or someone else (KatMann @ gmail.com). Bonus points if you do all of the above and send me pictures of you with the book. 😉
5 Poems in Quail Bell Magazine
Quail Bell Magazine published 5 poems from my Bible word banking project today. Thanks, Quail Bell editors!
The first two poems are part of my forthcoming chapbook from Agape Editions, A Door with a Voice, due out this summer!
The Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award
The Main Street Rag Poetry Book Award announcement is up on the MSR website now, so this must be real. I’m still so shocked and honored by this.
“The Book of Men” in The Chaotic Review
One of the poems from my Bible word banking project was published today in The Chaotic Review! I’m a big fan of this new journal that pays and publishes a new piece daily.
“The Book of Men” will be in my forthcoming chapbook from Agape Editions too!
Two Game Poems at Luna Luna
Two of my game poems were re-published today at Luna Luna!
One is about playing Yahtzee and missing my Granny. The other is about not writing “crotchless panties” in a game of Scattergories.
Poetry Has Value: April
Here is my April post, in which I wonder, “What if poetry’s value is greater than money? What if I respect my poems enough not to send them to journals that don’t meet my standards for quality or human decency, regardless of how much those journals pay for poems?”
“Prayer’s End” in Drunken Boat
I’m so thrilled to have my poem “Prayer’s End” published in Issue 23 of Drunken Boat! There’s also an audio file included, so you can let me read the poem to you if you want. Thanks, Ravi Shankar!
I’m especially looking forward to reading the Glass House Shelter Project folio in this issue, which features work by writers who are homeless.
