A few cheerful January bits of news!
Had a couple of good bits of news today, the first of which was a really nice surprise to wake up to –
Prairie Schooner had one of my poems, “Knoxville, 1979” as their featured poem today:

It’s part of my “The Robot Scientist’s Daughter” manuscript, so that’s always a bonus. Did I mention that “prairie” is one of those words that my dyslexia makes really difficult for me to type?
And, my review of Steve Fellner’s The Weary World Rejoices went up on The Rumpus!
I had my first acceptance of the year this morning, and sent off a new project to a trusted adviser. I’m banging on my writing samples for these two grant proposals, and then off they will go! A little snow, flu, and other such petty discouragements can’t keep me down…well, not for long.
Prairie Schooner Spring 2011
Check out the new Spring issue of Prairie Schooner, including the online version of one of my new poems from the Robot Scientist’s Daughter manuscript, “Knoxville, 1979.” (The other poem, “Foxfire Books: In Case of Emergency, Learn to Make Glass” is more apocalyptic. The whole issue is really wonderful I think.) Lesley Wheeler and Robert Wrigley are also up as featured poets.
A sad note: this was Hilda Raz’s last issue as editor of Prairie Schooner, as she is retiring.
