A slew of pubs to post about:

A review of Kate Greenstreet’s case sensitive up at The Pedestal Magazine’s 39th issue

A review of Becoming the Villainess in the 2007 Rhino (thanks to Mary B for writing it and Martha S. for telling me about it so I could order a copy!)

A new poem, “The Fox-Wife Describes Their Courtship” in the Spring 2007 Columbia Poetry Review (the cover of the Spring issue is amazing. Check it out, art peeps!)

Update: Poetry Southeast has posted their contest winner – and finalists

And, thanks again to Juliet Patterson, who read wonderfully last night at the Richard Hugo House (not to be confused with the Victor Hugo House, which I believe is in France.)

The rest of April is all rest for me. And yearly doctor and dentist appts. And celebrating my 34th birthday.

And I received Jessica Smith’s Organic Furniture Cellar in the mail. Beautiful!

You guys will be so jealous of me when I tell you who I got listen to yesterday at the poetry festival – Richard Siken, blogger and winner of the Yale Younger Poets prize for Crush. He did a charming reading/talk on spirituality and the self – reading some new work as well as “Crush” poems, which I enjoyed anew. What an interesting and funny guy. He said some accused him of being a “morning after poet.” HA! Here’s my favorite poem from the book, “Poem in Which Things are Crossed Out.”

Anyway, I know some of you must be tired of seeing me promote readings, but I promise this is the last one for April! (Oh, poetry month, both a blessing and a curse, and full of your muddy shoes!)

Hey Seattlites! Come out to the Richard Hugo House at 7 PM tomorrow to see me reading with Juliet Patterson, who hails from far away Minneapolis who reads her book, Truant Lover, from Nightboat Press, which is pretty cool. Click here to read her “first book interview” with Kate Greenstreet and one of her poems:
