LineBreak

You can find my recording of Daniel Nester's poem "Stardust Memories" at Linebreak, the new online literary journal created and run by Ash Bowen. Be sure to view the archives for poems by Bob Hicok, D.A. Powell, Dorianne Laux, and others. Check back with Linebreak for updates, where in upcoming weeks a new Richard Siken poem will be up and in April, my work will be featured. Linebreak is a great concept journal, so check it out and submit.

Vote APR Sung Coin

I haven't sent out poems in quite a while, but did get a letter today from Elizabeth Scanlon @ the American Poetry Review accepting one of my poems from my manuscript. This is the first time I've ever submitted to APR and I love the magazine, so I'm pretty excited!

I'm finally back on track and writing poems again, albeit only a handful here and there. I have ideas for several different projects, most of which I will start after I graduate this June from Bennington. Until then, I'm focusing the majority of my concentration on packet work, reading, and revising my graduate lecture on the contemporary ekphrastic. I love working with Ed Ochester. He sent me a coin in my last packet from the Chinese Sung Dynasty dating back to around 960 AD and looks something like this. I think I'm going to put it on a necklace.
