Wow! I woke up this morning to some welcome things – a review of Unexplained Fevers by Robert Peake on Huffington Post UK (along with a review of my lovely friend Annette Spaulding-Convy’s In Broken Latin), and a new review on a book blog called BookBabe. What was really funny was I fell asleep last night listening to Z: A Novel just at the part where F. Scott Fitzgerald is getting all twitchy waiting for reviews to come in on The Great Gatsby. I guess all writers, no matter what genre or time period, are just going to feel itchy until they get some small feedback from the loop about their work (and hopefully positive feedback!)
I also wanted to point to two literary magazines that I have poems in you may not have heard of before, but you – like me – probably love to discover new literary magazines – I have two “Robot Scientist’s Daughter” poems in the Black Magic issue of Spoila Magazine, created by the folks that brought you Bookslut, and “The Princess Turns to the Sea,” a poem from Unexplained Fevers, appears in the latest issue of Sou’Wester edited by Stacey Lynn Brown, along with poems by friends and admired compatriots such as Allison Joseph, Mary Biddinger, Ivy Alvarez, Sandy Longhorn, fellow Seattle-ite Martha Silano, and a bunch of wonderful folks. Both issues are a lot of fun to read!
And, I’m appearing tonight in Redmond at 7 PM at The Redmond Library as part of the Jack Straw reading with fellow 2013 Jack Straw writers Emily Perez, Dennis Caswell, Larry Crist and Judith Skillman. There will be refreshments, a raffle, and readings with a Q&A! Plus it’s the last official Redmond Poet Laureate event of the season, so come out if you’re nearby and looking for something to do!
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.
