I tell you, it’s not safe to shut off the e-mail for a second! Just cracked open the laptop for the first time all weekend to get this welcome birthday news from my kind publisher Tom Hunley at Steel Toe Books – that my poem “When Red Becomes the Wolf” is up at Verse Daily! Coincidentally, the other new Steel Toe Books author, Martha Silano, has a poem up today at Poetry Daily. Thanks to Tom for letting me know. Seriously, I’m going to have to send those Verse Daily people candy or something.
Thanks for all your birthday well-wishes, by the way – it was a splendidly lazy weekend, with art and duck and many other good things, playing tourist in downtown Seattle. It was super rainy yesterday but beautiful today, which just matches my much uplifed spirits. Nothing like a rest to make you want to write again!
PS If you can find the transcript of Stephen Colbert’s White House Correspondant’s Dinner for a laugh, read it.
