To celebrate I’ve been rereading poems from the archive. Remember that great one about goats by Jennifer Denrow from back in the Winter 2011 issue? Do yourself a favor and reread it HERE.

Friends, I’m here today to share the news that a week ago the good folk at Ploughshares accepted my poem “The People Who Live Near Us Are Our Neighbors.” They wanted a second one too, but sadly I’d withdrawn that one earlier.
I’ve been living in Thrillsville ever since.
Thank you John Skoyles and the other Ploughshares readers and editors!
I’m jazzed to the nth degree to announce that The Journal has just accepted my two poems “Holding My Head in Both My Hands” and “We Were Doing Fine and Then We Disappeared Peacefully.”
I’ll keep this happy news in mind tomorrow as the snow drops begin to fall here in Syracuse. Sigh…
Thank you so much Mikko Harvey and the other Journal Editors!
I’m delighted to announce that The Southampton Review has accepted my poem “He Must Have Gone To Sleep Eventually.”
This poem is particularly close to my heart as I consider it to be the centerpiece of my second poetry book manuscript, which is currently in its umpteenth draft version.
Thank you to Lou Ann Walker and the other SHR Editors!
It’s a gorgeous autumn day here in Syracuse — chill, gray and rainy with gangs of crows hopping between the trees and making swears above our heads. And it just got even better…
