Thank you all for stopping by and reading/listening. (If you go to the link, you can read and hear the poems in the book).
A Walk Through the Memory Palace has been published by qarrtsiluni. Please give it a read/listen. I'm really excited by the beautiful job the press has done.Here's the link: http://memorypalacewalk.com/
Congratulations, Ruth!
I know this sounds frumpy, but I'd take the Old Testament--the poetry of Job, Ecclesiastes, Song of Songs, and Psalms. I'm working on a poem right now about Song of Songs.
Thanks! Ruth, according to the website, it's an Inupiaq word that means "sitting in the dark, waiting for something to burst."
My chapbook, A Walk Through the Memory Palace, has been chosen for publication in the qarrtsiluni series by author Dinty Moore.
Here's the announcement:

I'm really excited to announce that my chapbook, A Walk Through the Memory Palace, was chosen by Dinty Moore as the winner of the qarrtsiluni chapbook contest.

Let me add my congratulations! Really good poem.
I don't know what Ploughshares is seeking, because they haven't chosen any of my work. I do know that they have many guest editors, and they choose the majority of some issues. I've come closer with Ploughshares than with Tin House (personal versus form rejections).
Three is my limit, unless there's a contest/themed issue with an outside judge. For example, I still submit to Ploughshares, but I don't submit to Tin House, because I just don't have what they're seeking.
I look for themed issues if I'm going to submit blindly. I'll always check out the website link through Duotrope. Some literary journals, both online and print, are obviously not a good fit.
I've been using it about a year. I haven't had a single problem with it.
I use Duotrope. It's a very organized site, and it also inspires. You can track poems sent out, acceptances, rejections, and pending submissions. Duotrope also provides links to journals to submit (print and electronic subs) and a themed calendar that I think is more user friendly than the one in Poets & Writers. There are separate submission trackers and calendars for poetry and fiction. (I write both). It's a wonderful site and works on a donation basis. After I started using Duotrope, my submission consistency and my acceptances became much easier to track.http://www.duotrope.com/
I ordered Erin Belieu's book. What a great deal--to buy a book and make a donation! If any of you are considering this, let me recommend Peter Pereira's What's Written on the Body. It's a fabulous book.

Thanks, Ruth and Jan!
My work was chosen to share space with Kevin Morrow's superb artwork for this month's broadside. Please check it out and put up a few copies in your area!

I have a dear friend who is moving away and this would be the perfect gift for her, as she is a writer, her husband is an artist, and they collect stained glass...

Ruth, this is the most beautiful one yet--is it for sale?
Congratulations, George. Terrific poem.
Jessica, I really liked your poems. Thanks so much for alerting us to your journal.
