So I'm looking at my previous post and not liking it at all. Not the look of the poem, which I had to upload as a jpeg to preserve the typeface and spacing, and not the poem itself. It was a PREMATURE POST.
It's very difficult to know exactly when a poem is finished, sometimes they never are, and seeing this one onscreen allowed me to see it in a different light. It needs work. I may take it down, especially now that...
I'M GETTING PUBLISHED!
Yes this is big news. I received two acceptances in twelve hours. My head remained swelled for the next twenty-four! You can look for two of my poems online in The Light Ekphrastic sometime after November and an essay in the November issue of Urbanite Baltimore. For one day, I felt like the luckiest person on Earth. Now, especially after the premature poem post, I'm just anxious about getting the poems right. It's nice.
CONGRATULATIONS on being published!
ReplyDeleteGood job. Next step the New Yorker?
ReplyDeleteNever! I'm too anti-establishment for that.
