I’m pleased to have two of my Bible-as-word-bank poems in the new issue of a new publication out of London, Anomoly Literary Journal!
If you’re pressed for time, definitely make sure you don’t miss the companion poems by Elizabeth Vignali and Kami Westoff. They are incredible!
I’ve been writing a series of prose poems to/about my Granny, and “28,065 Nights” was the first one of them to be published. The title refers to the number of nights my Granny was alive. These poems are hard to write, but I need them.
This whole Arabian Nights issue of NonBinary Review is really wonderful. I’m so glad it’s available online now! Check out the poems by E Kristin Anderson, M. Brett Gaffney, Sarah Ghoshal, Jen Stein, and more!
I’m now listed on Have Book, Will Travel!
Feel free to invite me to your class, reading series, writing festival, living room… I’ll read poetry anywhere!
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!
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. 🙂
My January post is up at Poetry Has Value. I’m focusing on sending my poems to paying markets this year… so far I’m down $3, but I’m feeling good.
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.
I’m pleased that one of my poems is included in Done Darkness, a new anthology from Orange Hat Publishing.
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!
