After a little hiatus on our poetry collaboration project, Dustin Nightingale and I started back up earlier this year and what a thrill it’s been to have had 4 of our poems accepted at 2 journals over the last week! I posted yesterday about The Rupture. Today we learned that New South has taken “Like a Fist Next to Your Heart” – one of my personal favorites. Maybe someday someone will want our book manuscript?! Huge thank you to Caroline Chavatel and the crew of New South!
Delighted to learn that The Rupture has accepted three collaborative prose poems I’ve written with Dustin Nightingale: “A Mushroom Now and Then Pushing Through the Needles,” “Taking One Spoon of Earth,” and “Wispy and Withstanding Storms.” Huge thanks to Marielle Prince and the rest of the good The Rupture people!
Here’s a poem of mine they published back in 2016 when they were called The Collagist
I’m jump-for-joy delighted to learn that Court Green has just accepted my three poems, “Flavorfest Sparkle Supreme Seascape Eversweet,” “How Many Exoplanets Will It Take,” and “Pinkies and Stumpies.” Thank you Cora Jacobs, David Trinidad, Tony Trigilio, and Aaron Smith!
As the temps drop into the single digits here in sunny Syracuse, I’m warmed by the news that my poem “The Effect Lasting Half a Minute” has just been accepted at Barrow Street! Huge thank yous to Michael Broek and the other Barrow Street editors and readers. This poem’s inspired by, among other things, pumpkin pie, whipped cream, and an episode of the “In Our Time” Podcast about Feathered Dinosaurs, in which we learn the evolutionary function of the wishbone.
I’m thrilled to share the news that West Branch has accepted three of my poems: “If Alone Has a Flavor,” “Quartered Suns” and “That’s Me When That’s You”! Massive thank yous to Joe Scapellato and the rest of the crew of West Branch! It may be gray as all get-out here in Syracuse, but today things seem bright. 🙂
Delighted to receive the news that my poems “Black Bean Sauce” and “Like a River Stood on End” have been accepted at Cherry Tree. Huge thanks to James Allen Hall and the rest of the Cherry Tree crew!
My hands are shaking as I type this. The American Poetry Review has just accepted my poem “We Couldn’t Be More Biological.” American Poetry Review. I’m still shaking.
Oh my goodness! My lyric essay “What You’re Thinking Now Is a Chunk of Marble” has just been accepted at Southeast Review! It’s the second in my series of lyric essays inspired by the 4 fundamental forces of physics–this one being the gravity essay. Now I need to get on the stick and finish the remaining 2 on the strong and weak nuclear reactions… Thank you Dyan Neary and the rest of the CNF staff!
What a delight to learn just now that my poem “The New Avenues the Only Avenues We Have” has been accepted at Witness Magazine. They published a poem of mine back in 2015, and it’s such a thrill to have been accepted there again! Thank you Poetry Editor Lindsay Olson and the rest of the Witness crew!
I’m thrilled to share the news that Salamander has accepted my poem “Let Go Inside Let It Out.” It’s got the moon in it, along with the strong and weak nuclear forces, dogs, snakes, and my mom. This news anytime would be a reason to jump for joy. During this frightening, difficult time…I could positively break into blossom.
