Two poems accepted at SCUD
My poems “And Not Having the Least Bit of Luck” and “New Year’s Resolution TBA” have been accepted by Brad Liening for his online literary journal SCUD. Under the dark SCUD skies you can already read amazing new poems by the likes of Gregory Lawless, Ben Nardolilli, and Rob MacDonald.
NANO Fiction’s State of Flash
My article “State of Flash (and Prose Poetry): Why We Write ‘Em!” is going to be featured at NANO Fiction in September, and I’m so excited. For this, I called up a handfull of writer friends and asked them why in the world they write prose poems or flash fiction. The answers I got were wonderful. Also funny, insightful, sometimes frightening, and even lyrical.
Check out Adam Peterson’s “Bylaws of the State of Flash,” the most recent post in NF’s State of Flash series. You may not have known it, but in the State of Flash there are fifty bylaws. And they’re not to be sniffed at.
Thrush Press Broadside Series
I received the wonderful news today that Thrush Press has accepted a poem of mine for their Broadside Series. They make some beautiful pieces. Below is Unmoored by Mary Lou Buschi. You can purchase broadsides from the site for $3.50 each.
Kugelmass
Kugelmass: A Journal of Literary Humor has accepted my prose poem “The Tale of the Clerk and the Miniature Desperado” for their upcoming third issue.
If I tried to explain how happy this has made me, you wouldn’t believe me. Nope.
Yemassee, Yes!
I just received news that Yemassee has accepted for their next issue a collaborative prose poem from a series written with my friend the poet Dustin Nightingale. This is the first of our collaborations to find a home, and we’re jazzed. Seriously. The poem, by the way, is called “Little Buzzings,” and it’s sort of about fruit flies…among other things.
Dustin doesn’t have a webpage, but you can read one of his poems in Stickman Review, and you can hear him read several poems on this episode of my old radio show The Poets Weave.
The Los Angeles Review
The Los Angeles Review has accepted my poem “How We Make It Home Eventually” for Issue 12 arriving this autumn. Yippee!
Used Furniture Review & NAP
Used Furniture Review and NAP have both accepted poems for publication, and I’m spinning around for joy in the falling cottonwood fluff.
NAP has taken a nature-y poem for its upcoming special issue of nature poems about nature titled, appropriately, LOG.
UFR has taken a group of poems from a series I’ve been working on a for a while called The Little Book of Monsters.
Boo.
Cream City Review & Southeast Review
That sound you heard a couple weeks ago was me shouting because I’d learned that both The Cream City Review and The Southeast Review have accepted poems of mine for publication.
Painted Bride Quarterly
The wonderful folks at Painted Bride Quarterly have accepted two of my poems for upcoming issues.
Visit their extensive online archives, read poems by people like: Matthew Rohrer, Erika Meitner, Britton Shurley, Julia Story & Tomas Salamun.
