My Day in Poetry, Etc. ...
Bloody roller coaster of a day. Here's the bullet points:
Got my copy of Chiron Review , which has my poems "Letter to Louis, Ten Years Later," "Toxic Waltz" and "On the Outside," as well as great work by G. Murray Thomas, Harry E. Northup, Antler, Tim Perez and others. Ecstatic to be in the issue, but heartbroken to learn its the last one. I'm going to miss it. Editor Michael Hathaway was always one of the gutsiest, most interesting editors out there. I've enjoyed Chiron Review for years, and feel blessed that he let me be a part of it a couple times.
I also have three love(ish) poems up on my friend Jane Cassady's blog, The Serotonin Factory . All older stuff: "When I say “I Love You” I Mean …" appeared in the anthology The Last American Valentine; "An American Love Song" appeared in my book, City of Insomnia, and "Play One More For My Radio Sweetheart" appeared in both. (and both books, of course, are available from Write Bloody Publishing.)
Was sorry to hear Jack McCarthy canceled his reading Sunday at the Poets' asylum, but am glad that he's still set to read later in the month at New England College. (I was actually already planning to go to both. Will be reading at NEC a bit myself soon, too, at another publication party for Lea and Lisa's Knocking at the Door anthology. Details on that, soon, but here's a fun fact ... it'll be the first time I've ever read poetry at the American campus of my alma mater. Feels like it should be some sort of occasion, doesn't it? Celebrate by buying Lea's book, available at the reading or, again, through Write Bloody.
Working hard on the next wave of Radius. If you're interested in applying for the poetry acquisitions editor or reviews editor job, or are interested in being a contributor or just submitting, go read this post, and don't dally. Already have some interesting applications, so this might not take as long as I feared ...
Pop Culture Notebook still going along, Mondays through Fridays, on Telegram.com. Today's installment: J. Fatima Martins on Nina Fletcher, Weird Al on Lady Gaga, and everyone on the new "Harry Potter" trailer!
