Greetings From Limbo ...
Yeah. I took a few days off work to deal with personal matters, not the least of which is copy edits to the big Next ... Magazine anthology that's coming out from Write Bloody Publishing. Yes, that's right. I took time off from my copy editing job to copy edit something. Because that's how I roll. (Also, don't forget that Write Bloody's kind-of-insane and extremely brief open submissions period starts on March 1!)
Actually, it's been a lot of fun revisiting some of those old interviews and articles, and I really can't wait until people have a chance to see it.
Yesterday, I received my copy of The Más Tequila Review , edited by Richard Vargas. This issue has my poems "All Shine On" and "Suburban Blues," along with great work by Gerald Locklin, Charles Harper Webb, Jenith Charpentier, Michael C. Ford, Rich Boucher, Ron Koertge and others. Great read, and a nice looking journal.
We also received our copy of the New England College alumni magazine, NEC Today, which features an interview with Lea by current NEC MFA in Poetry student Dawn Coutu. You can find a PDF of the whole magazine here. There's actually a couple articles about the MFA program in there, including an interview with Ivy Page.
Otherwise, I'm trying to catch up with myself. Sort of returned my attention to a languishing short story, and decided to see what happens if I try to flesh it out a bit more. So far I'm pleased, but we're at early stages still. Otherwise, I have a handful of poems and a couple short stories I need to put back out on the market, and I find I'm dragging my feet a bit. Need to get over that. Submissions are a grind, but writing doesn't publish itself. Although wouldn't it be great if it did?
