My thoughts on writing and other random things as they come up.

This is a blog where I keep my thoughts and daily comments about writing and WDC.

I really like his paragraph at the end, talking about it, too!

Just lovely! Kinda sideways, but it reminded me of my old Buick that I inherited when my grandfather passed away. No gloves, but little remnants of his pipe tobacco everywhere. Completely different sentiment, I know, but the poem still too me there while it was also bringing me along with the poet. I love it when reading poetry is like that!

I love the line, "where his growth scared him."

I'm also glad to be introduced to more female poets. I feel like I'm not familiar with enough of them.

I stumbled on the same line. For me, it's because it wasn't the same voice as what I'd perceived up to that point.

Gorgeous poem, though.

I am loving this activity for getting me to articulate why the poems that stick with me do stick with me, but I'm not experiencing any surprises in my personal preferences...yet.

Oh, gorgeous! Thank you for introducing me to this poem! I'm marking it to read again and again later.

I love where the first line breaks off, as well as, "playing music with words." I bet she was an inspiring teacher.

Oh, I love this poem. Thank you for introducing me to it, and for your personal perspective. I relate to your under- or over-reacting. And to the poet's depiction of the latter.

Super Short List of Pubs

I was updating my super short list of publications ("Invalid Item"

) today, and I noticed how long it had been since I had anything published. ACK! I have to get busy!

I haven't been submitting like I should, just barely enough to keep something in circulation at all times. I have had my share of rejections lately (by rejection date - see below).

Superstition Review, (10-24-14)
James Hearst Poetry Prize (10-30-14)
Pirene's Fountain (11-20-14)
Thrush (2-9-15)
Midwestern Gothic (2-18-15)

Anyway - Intima is doing something kind of cool. They invite poets who have had work accepted to write a guest blog, relating another poet's work (previously published in Intima) to their own work (published in Initma). My guest post was posted today,

so I'm counting that as a publication! *LOL*.

Anyway - I love how this creates deeper engagement with the work, and consequently, greater investment by the author in the journal.

Great place to submit if you have any poetry medically related.

Now - I'm off to dust off something to submit!

Best,

C
