I Have to Go Back to 1994...

Here's a review I wrote a few months back (published this month), of Karyna McGlynn's poetry book, 'I Have to Go Back to 1994 and Kill a Girl'.

I'm really glad I read that book and wrote a review a while ago, because I quite liked it (read it twice), but now my reading is much slower that even reading my own poems is tough (and I also had to let a few poets that I'd agreed to write reviews for now that I couldn't do it anymore right now, sigh).

I'll get better at some point, though--and then I'...

Little thingees

Hi. I wrote about these upcoming poetry piece publications the first of the month, but now they've happened, so here's a little update.

Last time, I accidentally wrote the wrong date for my Everyday Genuis poem--I initally wrote February 17, but it actaully appeared on February 16. And Listenlight was just published last night.

poetry (good and not so good) stuff

I wrote some poems in December and now cannot read or understand them well, due to my stroke. I also can't read poetry (or other) books well. I can read/write a little, but much more slowly than usual. I have read a lot of neato cards and notes from folks and appreciate those.

After the beginning of January, I haven't written poems and I haven't read poems by others, including those submitted to my online literary magazine, 13 Myna Birds (for which I've received a lot of submissions lately an...

I had a stroke and cannot currently read (poetry, people's names, most things more than one silable(?)), which socks. I can read this right now
but might not be able to soon.

petite treat(ise) purge

It's cold, but I just consumed two different flavors of ice cream for lunch, including double chocolate cookie crumble. I'm having one of those days during which second-guessing would be an understatment for my state of mind; I'm multi-guessing myself so much, I can hardly even function productively. I think part of the reason is stress and another part of the reason could be my mind is simultaneously trying to grapple with too many different things i.e. I'm brainstorming two different...

Happy New Year!

I have two new poems published to start the New Year, in two differerent online poetry publications.

The first I'll mention is an older poem called 'Sullied Honey'. Several years ago, this piece was accepted by a horror genre magazine called Poe Little Thing, but the issue it was supposed to appear in never materialized, as far as I know. Maybe the magazine folded or something. This poem never quite seemed to fit into any of my collections, but I still liked it, so I eventually decided to resu...

Happy Holidays!
