Wow, you go on the road for a little bit, and all this stuff happens…
Still in Cinci, but got a little news in my e-mail box to share…

The 2007 Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror (with two poems from BTV, “Becoming the Villainess” and “Persephone and the Prince Meet Over Drinks,” included) is out! Kelly Link, one of the editors, is one of my all-time fave short-story writers, so I’m honored.
Earlier Poetry Readings by Jeannine…Like, 24 Years Earlier…
My parents showed me this newspaper clipping that they had saved from when I won the fifth grade poetry recitation contest at my grade school. I was competing against sixth graders! The key was choosing “Anyone Lives in a Pretty How Town.” E.E. Cummings beats Edgar Allen Poe every time.
