It’s been a good day in poetry land. This morning I woke up to a lovely note from the editor’s of Transcendence letting me know my sestina, “White”, will appear in second issue. This particular poem is close to my heart in a lot of ways, so I’m so pleased that it has found a home in such a great publication.
I also learned today that the winner of the Ruby Irene Poetry Chapbook contest run by Arcadia, had been announced. Congratulations to Sharon Charde for her collection, Incendiary. It sounds amazing and I can’t wait to read it. I was so pleased to learn that my own manuscript, Crossing Ompompanoosuc, had made it to the short list.
What a wonderful day.
