A Week in the Life

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!

Anthology of Ekphrastic Poems

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).

News: Tea with Ezra (Take 2)

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.

TEA WITH EZRA

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.

 

New chapbook: I Awake in My Womb

After 5+ years of sending out poetry manuscripts, I have somehow managed to have three poetry chapbooks accepted for publication in 2013. This is ridiculous, and it’s also very fun.

I’m pleased to tell you that you can pre-order a new chapbook called I Awake in My Womb. This book contains a series of poems based on dreams that I had immediately before, during, and after pregnancy. It’s completely bizarre, sometimes frightening, and sometimes very amusing. I adore the cover. Yellow Flag Press is awesome!

This chapbook will have a limited first edition, but it will be followed quickly by a larger second run. If it’s important to you to have a first edition, then you’ll need to jump on that pre-order form very quickly!
