Poetish Updates
Oh, work is slow around the holidays. Very, very slow.
- I forgot I had a photo coming out in Unpleasant Event Schedule. I submitted it at the same time as I sent poetry because Daniel considers photos and I had some interesting ones. That photo is the back door from the office of the bar I used to hang out at in C Springs. I don't take my camera with me enough places anymore.
- Tonight is a River Styx reading with Adrian Matejka and Jim Tomlinson. I've met Adrian and enjoy his work. Don't know Jim Tomlinson.
- I received Best New Poets 2007 today. Journals with multiple poems selected: Black Warrior Review and The Eleventh Muse. Take that, Virginia Quarterly Review! Congratulations also to Erin for her poem in there.
- This year the Dustbooks Directory of Poetry Publishers features forewords by Virgil Suarez and Lyn Lifshin. How, uh, appropriate. Suarez writes "If I had to give a younger poet advice, it would be . . . publish everywhere you can and where your work will be welcomed." Um, everywhere you can? Really? Lifshin contributes a defensive account of her poetry career, including sending a manuscript of over 300 pages to a publisher.
- I've been trimming down my blogroll. If I've removed you, sorry about that, it's nothing personal. I just dislike vast link lists, and I don't want to be listing more blogs than I can reasonably visit.

Ouch.
A sunshinier view would be that the collection is put out by Meridian, which was founded by Ted Genoways, our editor. So, really...uh...we're winners in the eyes of...uh....
I got nothin'.

Since VQR beats The Eleventh Muse in pretty much every other measure of popularity or acclaim, I figured I'd flog this one a little.
