Here’s my final entry for PHV. The closing months of 2016 were chaotic and emotional, but I’m grateful for so many things, including the community of poets involved in this project.
PHV:October/ November/December Stats
Tag: PHV
PHV: July Stats
I’m a little, OK, a lot late sharing this PHV post. August is always hectic with end of the summer grading but I also took off toward the middle of the month and went home to visit my parents. By the time I got back, it was time to start preparing for the fall semester and today is the last day of the first week.
Farewell summer.
PHV: June Stats
My post for Poetry Has Value is up. I had a break in the quiet just this weekend (after I sent my update for PHV) letting me know that a journal that I sent poems to back in April is still considering two for publication. The summer issue of New Madrid also went to press recently, so I should be receiving my contributor copies any day now.
PHV: May Stats
My post for Poetry Has Value is up, so go take a look. It was a slow month for me in terms of submissions, but in this post I talked about some other poetry related stuff that’s been knocking around my brain for awhile.
PHV: April Stats
The end of the semester brought a whirlwind of activity, so this post is a bit late, but still check it out along with the other bloggers.
I took a trip with some fellow faculty and a group of honors students to New Harmony, IN, and I basically used it as a mini writing retreat, so there’s more to come on that front in a few days. The picture below is of the roofless church where I spent some time writing while I was in New Harmony.
My sister (check out her blog) and I are also going to be writing everyday this summer in a effort to generate drafts, so I’ll be blogging a bit about that experience as well.
It’s summer, folks and I can’t tell you how glad I am that it’s finally here.
PHV: March Stats
My submission stats for March are up at Poetry Has Value, so check it out along with all the other wonderful words from my fellow PHV bloggers.
PHV: February Stats
My submission stats for February are up at Poetry Has Value, so check it out along with all the other wonderful words from my fellow PHV bloggers.
PHV: January Stats
My submission stats for January are up at Poetry Has Value, so check it out along with all the other wonderful words from my fellow PHV bloggers.
Poetry Has Value
I’m embarking on a new venture starting this month over at Poetry Has Value (PHV) If you have not checked out Jessica Piazza’s excellent project, please take some time to read through her posts and familiarize yourself with her journey over the past year.
Jessica poses the question: What is your poetry worth?
As you can tell from the blog, there are a lot of possible answers to that question.
Where do I come in?
Well, thanks to Jessica’s idea to expand the project in 2016, I’ll be adding my stats (along with many other poets from all walks of life) and ideas to the mix. I plan to track venues where I send my poetry (individual poems and a chapbook manuscript), rejections and acceptances, fees I’ve paid to submit and any payment I’ve received for my work. In the spirit of being a good literary citizen, I also plan to track how I heard about a publication.
I’ll be sharing this information via monthly posts on the PHV blog.
My intro post is up, so please check it out along with all other brave poets who are contributing their voices to this discussion. It’s an important one.
