Late last summer I started work on a series of lyric essays, each inspired by one of the four classical elements: earth, air, water and fire. As I begin drafting the final one, it’s a massive delight to announce that the first essay, “Each Breeze Began Life Somewhere As a Little Cough” has just been accepted by Passages North as a future online bonus. In a nightmarish national news week(s), I’m very thankful for this.
Thank you so much to The Iowa Review for accepting my poem “We Might As Well Be Hovering” for The Iowa Review Blog, as part of this April’s National Poetry Month poem-a-day celebration.
Thank you to Fairy Tale Review for nominating my poem “We’re Actually Fabulous” for a Pushcart Prize! And thank you to Phoebe for accepting my poem “The Hay Out There and the Hay in You” for an upcoming issue! Two good things that I am thankful for this week before Thanksgiving.
Huge, golden autumnal thank yous to the good folks at Crazyhorse Literary Journal for accepting my poem “These Seagulls Are Better More Gullier Than the Ones in the City” for their Spring 2017 issue!
On this cool gray rainy October day it’s a delight to share the news that my poems “Elegy for the Travel Agents” and “Beaver Lake” have been accepted at the Southern Indiana Review! Thank you SIR for this most welcome birthday news!
I had to reread the email 20 times to make sure it was real…and apparently it is. I’m elated to announce that The Missouri Review has accepted six of my poems. I’ll be one of their featured poets in an upcoming issue. I’m going to try to calm down now. Here’s a picture of some wind turbines.
My prose poem “I Haven’t Seen You in 13 Years and You Show Up Blind and So Do I” — written collaboratively with Dustin Nightingale — has been accepted at Barnstorm. Thank you Poetry Editors Stephen Brand & Katie Brunero!
Waking up with a sore throat today was a drag. The beautiful rain was a consolation. Getting my poem “Save the Receipts For a Kind of Diary” accepted at Hayden’s Ferry Review was a great big consolation.
As the Perseids begin dropping in earnest around us, I’m delighted to announce that two of the collaborative prose poems I’ve been writing with Dustin Nightingale – “Raising the Titanic” and “I Think That Guy Came With a Violin On His Back and Wants To Play a Song” – have been accepted by the online journal elsewhere.
Jumping up and down under the sliver of a moon tonight to share the news that my poem “Otherwise Inexplicable Animation to the Forms Above” has been accepted by the good folks at The Collagist!
