I’ve been sickly (this darn sinus infection is killing me!) but somewhat productive this week:
–part-time jobs applied for: three (one teaching, one technical, one travel writing)
–grant applications: one
–festival applications: one
–poems written: one
–acceptances (thank you, Columbia Poetry Review): one
–pounds of junk mail thrown out: six hundred
–chapbooks received in mail (Slice of Cherry Pie): one. By the way, Ivy, Shanna, and all involved: A kick-ass piece of work. I loved every poem, I devoured the whole thing at once, I want everyone to read this, whether or not they are Twin Peaks Fans. PS You should be selling this at the Snoqualamie Lodge too! (where they shot some of Twin Peaks.) One of my favorites is the prose poem by Jared Leising. Love love love!
–horrible MLA-formatted two-year bibliographies finished: one
–kitten-related injuries: three
–kitten pictures taken: too many (and here’s another, this time in demon kitten mode chewing on Glenn)
I know I’m very far behind in my review work (I have several books including Laurel Snyder and Kate Greenstreet’s stacked in my “to review” pile. Patience! On 11/20, my thesis will be done, and I will have time again.

Oh there are never enough kitten photos!
Will call you soon. By the way, congrats on Columbia Poetry Review! TOO COOL!

Thanks pumpkin! But I don’t want to wear out his welcome. Some people have low tolerance for cat-blogging.
Jilly
Hope you feel better.
Will your book make me laugh? I bought it but am saving it for some downtime next month (surgery) but I can’t laugh or it will hurt.
jeannine
Dear Jilly, Thanks! I hope some parts will make you laugh, although I don’t want you to be in pain! So, no funny poems until you’ve recovered, which I hope will be soon!
Anne
The look on kitten’s face is priceless — he can’t decide between “I’m so adorable” and “I am a ferocious beast”! Never enough kitten photos, I agree. And congrats on Columbia Poetry Review!

Thanks Anne! I know, he loves to mug for the camera, that’s for sure.
Ivy
Yay, Jeannine, thank you! Sorry for the delayed reaction but jetlag has that effect on me. I’m so pleased you enjoyed it!
Feel better soon, okay?
jeannine
Dear Ivy,
Thanks! I’m hoping to do a real review of the chapbook as well when I get my bearings (get well, get done with grad requirements, etc.) Which hopefully will not be too far in the future!
