Received a personalized rejection this afternoon from Fairy Tale Review. It was a nice rejection though, so I don't feel too obliterated.
In other news, the issue of Assaracus that I've been published in is available for pre-sale NEXT WEEK! It can be ordered somewhere on this website sometime next week.
In other, other news, I'm back home for the holiday and the weekend. It's been fun being back in Florida but I know if I stayed an extra week I'd get sick of it all.
Today: Slept & will probably sleep again
Tomorrow: Meet with old friends, party with old friends.
Sunday: Tailgating & Dolphin's Football game & hopefully shopping in Miami
Monday: Fly to New Orleans (i almost wrote home) at 5 in the morning.

If You Go Into Heather Christle You Will Find She Has A Trees
Ben Koppel came and read portions of VICTORY through H_NGM_N press.
Though Koppel's work is so very different from my own (very excited, a manic sort of depression, not naive but embracing of the shit we trudge through) his reading was inspiring.
And how young they all are! This whole clique of wonderful Louisianian writers. Kristin Sanders and Ben Koppel and Carolyn Mikulencak.
And then the other writers that I've connected with/met/fallen obsessively in love with through Kristin: Kate Durbin, Jennifer Tamayo, Kate Zambreno, Ariana Reines, Richard Siken, Arielle Greenberg, Paul Legault, Marie Calloway.
It's weird looking back to just one year ago. How I was anointing the feet of Anne Sexton and Sharon Olds.

Mid-Semester Check in
So it's more than halfway through the Fall Semester. Things have been carrying on.
What's really great is that my poems are appearing in Assaracus Issue 09 sometime this Spring!
Assaracus is this really cool journal dedicated to gay male poetry & voices. It's published through Sibling Rivalry Press, with editor and poet Bryan Borland at the masthead. What a great group of people. So talented. So exciting to have my work sitting alongside names like Ocean Vuong, Dustin Brookshire, Matthew Hittinger, et all.
