Thanks to
the Atticus Review, who today is featuring
an interview with me and
several fresh brand new poems! (Including one inspired by Secret Circle, and another i
nspired by Algebra!) Check it out!
Tumblr! What is it? I'm still not quite sure. However, I know that right now, poems from my first book have been Tumblr-ing around the internet, and I wasn't sure if this was important or alarming or what til my friend Ivy Alvarez, dynamite, plugged-in poet that she is, twittered me this morning with this message: "Wow, your poem was blogged on Hello, Tailor! Gurl, that's major! :-)
http://hellotailor.tumblr.com/post/24411614478/vega-ofthe-lyre-the-villainess-by-jeannine-hall"Thanks to Ivy for alerting me to this, and for telling me some more about tumblr. Are you guys using this tool? Has it been good for poetry? Please comment and tell me your thoughts!
I will say this? Since my Tumblr flurry (poems up include, from the first book, "Femme Fatale," "The Villainess," "Becoming the Villainess," and a couple of others...) my Amazon ranks for both books have gone inexplicably under 100K. Which is always good!
My second (and upcoming third) book's publisher,
Kitsune Books, is having Open Submissions right now. You should check them out and think about sending your manuscript. But remember, they like longer poetry books!
