Click here to check out my poem “The Robot Scientist’s Daughter: One of Us.” Other poets in this fantastic-looking issue include C.J. Sage, Martha Collins, and fellow Seattle-ite Amy Shrader. I love their new layout!

Had to post this little bit of news: Click here to read Kristin Berkey-Abbott’s thoughtful full-length review of She Returns to the Floating World on her blog. Thanks, Kristin!

—Cerise Press’s Spring issue features two new poems, “The Robot Scientist’s Daughter [director or dictator]” and “Half-Life”. The issue also features work by Ann Fisher-Wirth, G. C. Waldrep, and Susan Musgrave.
—The journal Eleven Eleven (a beautiful little creation from the California College of the Arts) Issue Ten features three new poems, “The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, Before,” “She Introduces Her Husband to Knoxville,” and one of Kelli’s favorite titles, “On the Night of a Lunar Eclipse, a Missile Shoots Down a Spy Satellite”. This issue also features Megan Snyder-Camp, Hollie Hardy, and Mark Wallace.
–The new American Poetry Journal Number 10 is a hybrid creation, romanced by cover art of two intertwined peacocks, with National Poetry Review. My prose poem, “Seascape,” is featured on the “American Poetry Journal” side, along with work by friend and blogger Keith Montesano, and many of my poet friends are featured on the flip side in National Poetry Review: Mary Biddinger, Tom C. Hunley, and Amanda Auchter. It’s a two-for-one deal!
I feel like now we should have a party with all the poets in these three issues of journals, featuring a wide range of aesthetics and personalities. I think it would be a blast!

I was remiss is not thanking Kelli for nominating me for her Stylish Blogger award a week or so ago, and then I think I was supposed to reveal some truths and a lie. Seventeen truths and four hundred lies. So, I will also use the poems that came out this week as a jumping off point for some truths and lies. Can you guess which is which?
–My childhood home in Tennessee, a two-story brick house on eight acres of farm and woodland, was razed to build an insane asylum. Which then was never built.
—The poem “She Introduces Her Husband to Knoxville” is based on a lie, as my husband has never been to my childhood home in Knoxville.
–I have taken many job aptitude tests that told me I should be a dancer or a director.
–I have owned a Barbie “President” doll.
See if this week’s poems hold any clues!

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.)
