Seriously, thanks to Lizzie Acker for choosing my poem, which was brought on by a dream about zombie clone women. Because that’s the kind of dreaming I do all the time. And now I get books from Small Desk Press! And to read with some awesome poets at LitCrawl.
Jeannine Hall Gailey served as the second Poet Laureate of Redmond, Washington and the author of Becoming the Villainess, She Returns to the Floating World, Unexplained Fevers, The Robot Scientist’s Daughter, and winner of the Moon City Press Book Prize and SFPA’s Elgin Award, Field Guide to the End of the World. Her latest, Flare, Corona from BOA Editions, was a finalist for the Washington State Book Award. She’s also the author of PR for Poets, a Guidebook to Publicity and Marketing. Her work has been featured on NPR’s The Writer’s Almanac, Verse Daily and The Year’s Best Fantasy and Horror. Her poems have appeared in The American Poetry Review, Poetry, and JAMA.

Congrats! And yay for monster poems!
I forgot that I wanted to leave you this note on the other blog post: Have you read Borrowed Towns by Richard Newman? He has poems about bigfoot, vampires, and Mothra! How cool is that? To write a poem about Mothra!
