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.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington and the author of Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and SFPA’s Elgin Award, Field Guide to the End of the World.
