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.
