2 Poems Accepted at Mannequin Envy

I received an acceptance today from Mannequin Envy. "Late Fall" and "Mannequins" will appear in the winter issue, due out by mid-December. Mannequin Envy is one of the most beautiful online literary journals I read--the visual art is as stunning as the poetry-- and I'm delighted to be included there.

I also heard good news from Ariel Journal (published by University of Calgary Press) this week. The editors have decided to include my poem, "After a Miscarriage," in the next issue. This is my first Canadian publication. I'm delighted!

POEMS UP AT HISS

Two of my poems are up at Hiss Quarterly: "Absolutely Modern: A Portrait of a Girl" and "Last Night." The accompanying art by Melody Herbert is vibrant, bold, and surreal. Love both paintings!

TWO POEMS ACCEPTED

I'm thrilled that Zyogte in my Coffee has accepted my poem, "Eviction." The poem will appear in the December issue.



The Taj Mahal Review has accepted my poem, "Scheherazade," for their December issue as well. Published in India, I have yet to have the pleasure of reading this journal.

BACK ALREADY

Well, I stayed away from 30:30 all of one day, and now I'm back. Arlene threatened to nail me down by my clothes. No one has ever threatened to crucify me before. Technically, it isn't a crucifixtion without the nails in the hands, and the cross, but I'm going to play the martyr, because I am doing both the 30:30 challenge AND NaNoWriMo in the same month!
