Yes, I’m deep in work mode right now, reading and re-reading in prep for my upcoming high school class on “mythology, comic books, and you” for Centrum: “The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay” by Michael Chabon, re-reading Kelly Link’s “Stranger Things Happen” to decide which story to use in the class, and a book on the history and origins of superheroes called “Comic Book Character.”
But, I had to surface briefly before I disappear for a week in the class to direct you to new poems on 2River View:

You know, the editor took two poems that I wrote at very different times, but put together, they tell one story. I didn’t realize it until I was recording them both. That’s the subconscious for you.
And, to show you the wonderful work my Becoming the Villainess illustrator, Michaela Eaves, continues to do – here’s the upcoming cover of indie-sci-fi-lit-mag, Talebones! Nice work, right?
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.
