The Beastly Bride interviews and Rattle Summer 2010

More contributor copies are rolling in! Rattle’s Summer 2010 issue, which contains a tribute to humor and an interview with Carl Phillips, also has wonderful poems by my friend Martha Silano and wonderful poets like Diane Wakowski and Toi Derricotte, and me! The poem is another one of my series of advice poems, that I’m not sure why but I keep writing, called “I Forgot to Tell You the Most Important Part.”

Remember that awesome anthology called The Beastly Bride I was telling you about a little bit ago? Well, this nice fellow is doing a series of interviews with its authors and I was lucky enough to be a part of it, so here’s the interview up on SF Signal. I talk about why animal brides are interesting to me and reading material that was probably unsuitable for children that made me the writer I am today.

And, if you haven’t checked out this month’s Verse Daily Web feature, you should! Plus, it’s extra publicity for the very kind folks at qarrtsiluni. Also, if you haven’t updated my web link in your blog rolls yet, please do! It’s now http://myblog.webbish6.com/. I know it’s a big pain, so thanks for your trouble. Also, unlike the folks who run Harriet, I don’t think blogs are dead yet. I like a little discursiveness in my poetry discussions – at least more than the character limit at Twitter allows you – and I don’t think news aggregation is content. So there!
