And don’t forget to vote before the 20th in the Goodreads Choice Awards for Poetry for my little book if you get a chance! I’m hoping to make it to the finals! (And vote for Sandra Beasley in the food category for “Don’t Kill the Birthday Girl!)

I was also so pleased to get in the mail Carol Lynn Stevenson Grellas‘ new book, Epistemology of an Odd Girl. (Isn’t that a great title?) This book from March Street Press bursts with scenes from everyday life, but also great poems like “In the Spirit of the Apocalypse” and “The True Story of Rapunzel.” This from “Candy Addict:” “Don’t they all suffer withdrawals?”/ (Yes, but not all care for mint cigarettes./ Sometimes we use Cyberkinetics.)”
Still fighting the flu, but feel a bit more mentally capable the last couple of days, so I was able to get some work done (and even a little writing!) Weather forecast for snow (snow!! in the Northwest!) tomorrow….
