Sorry I haven’t posted – I got hit with one of those May (!?!) bugs, sore throat and head cold and the whole shebang, been walking around like a zombie all week. But now I’m off to the Skagit River Poetry Festival, packing my vitamin C and elderberry and teas and antibiotics. Hopefully the sunshine and poetry will work their crazy magic and make me all better!

So, besides a poem in the 2008 Rhino (“The Note the Fox-Wife Leaves Him,”) I realized from the contributor copy that arrived today I’m also in the latest Rattle, (“Advice Before My Wedding”) along with a bunch of good poems and interviews from Marvin Bell and Bob Hicok. Good times. A Rhino review (and perhaps some news from the fest) when I get back.

For today, a road trip to La Connor to see some poetry and catch back up with friends.
