And they're good ones, too. Nina.
Congratulations, Pamela. And let everyone know there are some poems there we can read.
I love the premise of Nina's poem. An autobiography in song.
Thanks Christina and Jan.
The current issue of Chicago Quarterly Review includes my poem Now is the Time of Black Lizards. It's a print journal, but you can see the cover and table of contents at http://www.chicagoquarterlyreview.com/
Thank you, Christina.
I haven't been able to crack Tin House, either, Christina. But congratulations on Minnow.
I'm sorry to hear you're having health problems. A major nofun.
Way to go, Jan!
By coincidence I'm reading his book of memoirs Unpacking the Boxes which my husband gave me for my birthday.
Oh, Nina, that's great.
Congratulations, Pamela. I love, love, love the way you've played the sounds of the words in Cameo: Epithelamion. Beyond beautiful. And Shuckswitch Road is just wonderful. So evocative.
Isn't it amazing how witty and at ease he seems with English?
Oh my, I wish I knew. I know I'm often too hesitant to inquire for fear of setting the rejection machine into motion. I've only submitted to them once before, and the rejection was prompt. Way too prompt.
What Jan said, Christina. It's the pits to be sick.
I got a no-fun from Bloodroot today.Pam, if she said she liked it, I think I'd try her again regardless. She may have had a student or assistant stuffing the rejection envelopes.
I just received my contributor’s copies of the Sept/Oct issue of North American Review containing my poem, Ode to the Toothpick.This is a print only publication, but they do have a website at http://www.webdelsol.com/NorthAmReview/N...
The first time I read Lolita, it was because I wanted to see what all the scandal was about. I was not impressed. The second time I read it I loved it. Hilarious.
An abcedary with each word in order! I am impressed.
I bought the Artist's Way when everyone was first talking about it. I gave it a try, but it's most definitely not for me.OTOH, when I was first studying with Jack Grapes and he expected us to read a journal entry each week, and to write one every day, I found that good things came out of that discipline.
Liked your poem, Jan, especially the way it started out describing a nice, but fairly ordinary neighborhood, and then took off into the extraordinary.
