The sun in shining, I’m finally feeling better thanks to a plethora of drugs, and even got three batches of poetry into the mail today. Plus, I wrangled with a difficult long poem I’m trying to write.
My new Intro to Poetry workshop with National University starts in a week. I’m excited this time, and less nervous.
The Cortland Review’s April issue is up!
Check out a certain poet on the left-hand column who is happy to be sharing space with Dorianne Laux, Brian Turner, Michelle Bitting, and many other fab writers.
(PS This is my first poem from my “Robot Scientist’s Daughter” series to be published, so I’m doubly excited.)
