Some exciting news!

I received a letter from Full of Crow last night telling me that the collection of Paul Newman poems I've been writing off and on for a couple of years has been accepted for their mini-chapbook series. Mine is a total of ten poems and will be available probably in December. I'd wanted these poems to appear together rather than scattered across journals, so I'm very pleased.

More when this happens, but I had to share the news now.

On the personal front, I'm still dealing with whiplash symptoms and still not on the blog much but will do more as I can. My apologies for not getting around to visit my favorite blogs in a while.

Cool! Interesting trend, the
mini-chaps. A lot less than the
PODs.

Thank you all for commenting. Still having headaches and swimminess, though improved, from the whiplash so can't yet visit around much at all. And yes, I'm excited about this. Jim, I like the trend, too. I think people can more easily afford a min-chap than a 12 to 15 dollar book and your poetry gets out there. I like how you printed your shorts , too. Same idea. I get ten free copies of the book but no money on the sales. I don't care. I just want the poems read.
