J. Sorry to take so long in responding. I've been tied up on a project and not had much free time so only checked in today.
Good to hear from you and hopefully I won't be so tardy in corresponding!
Cheers,
Brian
Will do, J. Do you know someone at Pequin?
No plans for chapbook submission yet, J. Maybe one day. And whenever it is, I will definitely let you know.
Ha! Grazie. :-)
And gory! But, it's decades-old gory, so it's feels even gorier, I think! I can't believe a person could feel so gory about themselves! Blows my mind. Plath dresses it up more. I can't re-read Sexton the way I can re-read Plath.
Hello Jared!
