2017 in summary

[neile]

This was a complicated year full of bad news, but in it all I had some good news:

• I have two new collections of poetry, The Walk She Takes and Cedar And Stone scheduled for 2019


• I won the Special Award - Non Professional World Fantasy Award "for fostering excellence in the genre through [my] role as Workshop Director, Clarion West" on behalf of the staff, board, volunteers, supporters, instructors, and students of Clarion West


• I received the Meritorious Banana (yellow! plastic! signed by attending writers!) for Aid Rendered at the Locus Awards


• I had three poems published:
  
  • "The God of Unmendable Things" in The Literary Nest 3:3 (Fall 2017)
  • "The Goddess of the Sea-facing World" in Kaleidotrope 13 (Autumn 2017)
  • "The Alchemy of Arsenic" in Liminality 13 (Autumn 2017)

Wishing everyone a wonderful 2018--and hope there is better new for us all.
