Note: Bloggers taking over Verse Daily –
Wasn’t just a week ago Paul Guest and Matthew Thorburn were rockin’ out on Verse Daily? Well, I just got the Verse Daily newsletter, and apparently, this week, Jeffery Bahr and I are going to be making appearances. I don’t know which poems yet…stay tuned…
So, it’s a little early for my birthday (April 30th) but a nice birthday present nonetheless – thanks Verse Daily! Cake for everyone!
Speaking of taking over, props to Peter P. for being singled out on “American Life in Poetry”
PS – For those of you who have been in contact with me lately, sorry I’ve been a little stressed out/grumpy. My advice is not to start volunteering at a new university-based literary magazine during your essay semester at school while you’re also trying to write six reviews by May and do enough freelance work to support your expensive poetry habit. Anyway, I’ve been a little overwhelmed but promise to be back to my nice, normal self. Soon.

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. Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing. Her work has been featured on NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily and The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and JAMA.
