Bibs and Bobs, Good and Bad

Thrilled to have my poem, “A Lesbian Fantasia on Angels in America,” was nominated by OCHO for a Pushcart Prize. You can read more about that here. The issue is available for purchase here. Much gratitude to editor Matthew Hittinger and issue editor Rae Gouirand.

Thanks to editor Kim Roberts and issue editor Myra Sklarew for the invitation to write.

Two reviews over the past month: Daisy Hernández’s A Cup of Water Under My Bed and Ellen Bass’s Like a Beggar. I continue to love writing about books I am reading and share these thoughts with reading publics.

I have also been writing away, revising material from my dissertation and taking lots of breaks to play with our new kitten Vita, also known as “little squeaker.”

Some distressing news here in our animal kingdom. In addition to Emma’s usual fall “itchy-scratchies,” we learned that Shelby’s liver functions are deteriorating. It may be liver cancer. We humans are a bit bluesy here, but waiting until next week when we have more diagnostic information. Love your critters people. And write on. Write on.
