Cartography [update, removed...]

*poof*

 

Removed for some tweaking…might send this one out soon.

 

Received a couple of ARCs from Coffee House press today, including Amanda Nadelberg’s ‘Bright Brave Phenomena’, which looks great, including its  perfect title.

Huzzah!

It’s been another long, bruising sort of week culimnating in a rather grey and windy Sunday, but I’m happy to report that The Tulane Review has accepted my poem ‘HE (2)’ for their Spring 2012 issue.

Bonus points to my hobbled psyche that this marks, finally, my first publication in a print journal.

Not so bad a Monday

My little poem ‘Dot’ is now live with Hot Metal Bridge’s new issue; you can find it here:      http://hotmetalbridge.org/backthen/dot/

 

The weather, the weather. It feels as un-moored and undecided as I have, lately.  Most days I’m just letting the words swamp across my eyes and hoping I’m taking away from it all what I’d like to. Sam Harris’ book has had this effect: would I feel the way I do now about rain if not for all the poetry? Why do all of my favorite poems feature it? If you put the word ‘grey’, with an ‘e’, in a poem, I’m going to love it. Our brains are machines indeed but what fucking strange machines.
