I haven’t sent in my publication agreement – will do so tonight – but I’m posting this anyway because it was good news in a sea of no news or waiting for news or unreported news: my poem “Man with a Beard of Bees” has been selected for publication in the 2009 Kakalak Anthology of Carolina Poets.
This makes me happy – my first anthology. And my third time trying. Also, although I didn’t win, Bob Hicok judged the contest tied to this publication, so there’s a teensy weensy chance that maybe he read and liked my poem(s). Maybe. There were three other editors on the project, but a girl tell herself what she wants to.
I’ll update on more Kakalak news, pub date, readings, etc. as I get them.

Ah, yes. The next step, of course, is fame. Then the ascent into alcohol fueled wittiness, followed by the descent into alcohol fueled…uhm… alcoholism…
The life of a poet! Congratulations!

Even from the time you were ten, I always wondered when this day would come. Anthology = big time real shit. Congrats!
