Poem Escalations Is Bought by Illumen

This one’s just one poem, of a group of three, but every one counts. The email came this afternoon from Editor Tyree Campbell:  I’m accepting one of these, “Escalations,” for the Winter 2019 [that’s this January] ILLUMEN, and you’ll [image error]receive payment with your contributor’s copy.  The poem itself is a dark humored one, some might say “silly,” a sort of riff on the classic film short “Bambi Meets Godzilla.”  As with many tales of horror, though, perhaps the real fear should be for what comes after.

Tyree continues, and I agree with him, [m]eanwhile, keep promoting poetry.  So many folks are terrified of it because they’re afraid someone might find out that they don’t understand it sometimes . . . it’s a never-ending battle for us publishers.  Poets, please take note.  While as for “Bambi Meets Godzilla,” to see it for yourself on YouTube press here.
