What a delight to hold my rocket-powered contributor copy of Arts & Letters 20th anniversary issue, which contains my poems “The Answer the Question in Your Mind Rosemary” and “Lighthouse Lighthouse Lighthouse.” Thank you Editors Hali Sofala-Jones, Cecilia Woloch, Faith Thompson, Jennifer Watkins, and the rest of the Arts & Letters flight crew! This is such a gorgeous issue!
Wonderful to learn tonight that my poems “The Answer the Question in Your Mind Rosemary” and “Lighthouse Lighthouse Lighthouse” have been accepted at Arts & Letters. Here’s a photo I took last summer of the lighthouse on Block Island that inspired one of the poems.
My poetry was a finalist for this year’s Arts & Letters Rumi Prize in Poetry.
Thanks Arts & Letters editors and congrats to the winners and other finalists!
The first issue of Arts & Letters PRIME was released this last November containing both the text and audio of me reading my two poems “Free Verse” and “You Can Always Buy a New Dress.” PRIME is a newly launched e-supplement to the print edition of this wonderful journal, specially made for the iPad/iPhone. If you have one of those, you can download the issue 1.1 here. If you don’t, never fear, that link also takes you to a place where you can download a basic version to be read on an e-pub reader.
In addition to my two poems, this issue features flash essays, including one by Dinty Moore, visual art, audio and video.
