Hi friends! I haven’t been able to log into my original Instagram page for months now. Dunno why… So tonight I made a new one. Please (re)follow me on Instagram. Thanks! https://www.instagram.com/christophercitropoet/
Thankfully today’s arctic windstorm hasn’t blown away the mailbox, and I received my contributor’s copy of the new Barrow Street, which contains my poem “The Effect Lasting Half a Minute,” as well as a ton of awesome poems by an amazing list of poets and friends! Huge thank yous to Michael Broek and the other Barrow Street editors and readers!
Wow! What a total delight reciting my poems for WPBS Watertown this afternoon! Huge heartfelt thanks to Joleene, Ryan, Leah, and my buddy Big Bird!!! I’m thrilled to be able to share these readings with everyone when they air!
What a delight to be nominated by a contributing editor (thank you!) for this year’s Pushcart Prize. Winning a Pushcart in 2018 was such an honor. Fingers crossed for another chance!
