More often than not, I only blog about my recent poetry publication credits if I actually have the magazine in my presence or can link to its online presence, but I just got an email that the first issue of zero ducats is ready to be mailed to me--and then I visited the zero ducats website and I thought it was so nifty that I feel compelled to share:

The author bios were fun to read and look at and I kind of wish I was at a party with all those people. Although most of them seem to be in Missouri and have MFAs, which kinda makes me feel like I'm invading some preordained enclave, but I'm a pretty delighted invader.
Also, while I was investigating that matter, I stumbled upon a photo of Nellie Oleson (not one of the authors) and had the idea to write a series of poems either ABOUT Nellie Oleson, TITLED Nellie Olesen but not about her, OR titled Nellie Olesen and the names of other secondary TV show characters.
Also, I am excited to read Rauan Klassnik's new e-chapbook plus some of the newer Scantily Clad Press chapbooks. I'm a little behind on my reading, but looking forward to catch up.
Also, I am formulating a few ideas about where to send/submit one of my unpublished chapbook manuscripts.
Also, thinking about death by owl...

first comment on the new blog is mine? hoorah!
ReplyDeletei was looking through some writerly publication last night and perusing all the ads for MFA programs and trying to figure out if i really wanted to get an MFA instead of working on a doctorate in linguistics. i'm constantly pressured by that notion that an MFA won't help me get a quote-unquote real job. but the more i think about it, the more i think i'll teach, so i won't have a real job either way.
Okay, death by owl is reminding me too much of last night's episode of CSI: NY.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the episode, but a lot of things seem to remind you of CSI. Maybe you have a CSI fetish.
ReplyDeleteTeaching is not a real job?
ReplyDeleteNo, I just happen to watch all three of the CSI series quite regularly. But Wednesday's CSI: NY involved vultures pecking away at a murder victim's corpse (which is how the murder victim was discovered).
ReplyDeleteoooh! i like your new doubletrouble place here!
ReplyDeletexox and, the idea of nellie oleson poems just hits me in my half-pint! *rar*
