it's so nice that no matter how long you wait for something to be published, it feels unbearable more than ever, but in retrospect it's all exactly the same...

The first issue of Through The Gate has gone up! It looks great so far.

And the poem I am proud to have in it is "Things you would pack when taken hostage."

Let me know what you think of it!

A bitty poem you should read, for the love of language:

N.E. Taylor, Sarcophagus

Longer, but still brief-sounding poems like watercolor postcards capturing stories from a new angle:

Ken Liu's Seven Haiku's from Ye Xian & Mother I Always Knew It Was You

I am so stoked to tell you that I am going to publish a poem in inkscrawl, the magazine that " ( Read more... )

This month's issue of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly includes a poem by yours truly!

Burying the Ploughshare

This poem, uh, borrowed *deeply* from the Oklahoman landscape as I'm familiar with it, and since Heroic Fantasy Quarterly has two editors from OK, my theory is that they recognized it, too.

I've sold my first short story ever!

My flash piece "Color Contacts" has been purchased by Cast of Wonders.

It's a silly little thing, but I'm glad I sent it around anyway. :)

As soon as it's up you'll be able to read AND listen to it, I believe. Also, they paid me in pounds...

Bete Noire sent me a revision request for a poem right before I left to go to Colorado. I buffed it up a little and sent it right back. The very day I got home they sent me an acceptance!

My poem's up!

This week's Chizine update includes Bethany Powell's "My Skull, The Garage" and happily, I'm not the only one with a lighter tone in this segment.

Chizine's putting together this rolling super-issue as a promotion and I donated my poem as an "alumni" [chuckles at the idea], so if you can throw some change in the tip jar, that'd be great ( Read more... )

BIG NEWS

a poem I thought was rejected has been requested!

Chizine.com has rehauled their website and is doing a super-issue launch this spring with poems and fiction being updated more than once.

Go check it out now, and stay tuned for when my piece goes up. ;D
It is a funny one I thought was worth donating if they'd take it, and despite rhyming...it' ( Read more... )
