but, in life news, we are re-thinking our decision to go to Phoenix, due to stuff like air pollution, crime, surprisingly expensive rentals, number of creepy-crawlies, things like that. We are now (late, I know, to be re-thinking…) leaning towards the northern suburbs of San Diego after considering Flagstaff and Boulder as other alternatives. More expensive, but supposed to be ideal for asthma as long as you don’t live right downtown where the smog is. Anyone with tips on San Diego living (neighborhoods, poetry scene, etc) is welcome to leave them in the comments!

I found this lovely little analysis of my poem (“Aware for the Woman Who Disappears in Silence”) that was published in Mythic Delirium a little while back:

It was wonderful to read!

In other news, Howard Junker is retiring from ZYZZYVA! See here for more. Can’t believe it – in his blog he always sounded so enthused about his work at the magazine. Sounds like they might be looking for a new editor-in-chief!

Getting ready to change reservations for our trip out to rent-hunt, and going to my poetry group tonight, which I haven’t been able to attend much lately, so I’m excited!
