My Lyric Essay “Licked by Our World We Get Licked by Our World” Accepted by the Bellingham Review
I’m thrilled to share the news that my lyric essay “Licked by Our World We Get Licked by Our World” has been accepted by the Bellingham Review. I’ve long loved this literary journal and their commitment to lyric and hybrid essays. It’s such a delight that they’ll be publishing this essay.
It’s the last of my four essays inspired by the four classical elements to have found a home–this is my water essay and touches on Jaws, Altered States, fishing, drowning, the Bermuda Triangle, etc. Now I need to finish the last two essays of my following series based on the four fundamental forces in physics. I’m currently knee deep in the Strong Force and have to find a 4000 word essay inside the *gulp* 14,000 words of rough draft I’ve so far spun.
