News and updates

Somehow it's September.  Are you like me and wondering where the summer went? Well, at least I still have a vacation attitude in that I remain indolent and easily distracted. Contributors to Solace in So Many Words have been busy. I want to remind you again that Jan Bottiglieri's new chapbook "Where Gravity Pools the  Sugar" is out from Finishing Line Press. Daniel Chacón has revamped his website. His next book," is a hybrid of flash-stories and loops in text and … [Read more...]

Natural solace

Natural solace

I am not a dedicated gardener, but I like to have flowers in the yard. At the end of May I went to a local garden shop and bought a bunch of things to plant in window boxes and containers. A nice young woman helped me select the flowers. I wanted some hanging plants but something different than potato vine or ivy. So she suggested these and I went along with the idea, probably not paying too much attention to her description other than it was a full-sun plant and drought … [Read more...]

Due to construction I have been slacking, but not so with Solace in So Many Words contributors. Kathleen Kirk has four poems,  "Daughter of Midas," "Children Again," "Goldfinches," and "Mythology" in Glasschord Magazine (volume 27).  I hadn't heard of this online magazine before but the website explains,  "Glasschord Magazine was founded by a community of emerging artists as an open forum for creative expression. Each monthly issue explores a single theme from a variety of … [Read more...]

I can't always keep up with Kathleen Kirk's publications because there seem to be so many (YAY!).  Here are her latest placements. She has two poems, "Blackberry Moon" and "Cusp," in Eclectica. Lines from "Cusp" that made me think:  "just as the word 'cusp'
/ refers to either point on the crescent moon,
/ neither of which is really there, both created by
/ the shadow of the earth, the reflection of the sun." Kathleen's poem "The Towns" appears in the museum of americana. … [Read more...]

We had a mild winter and early spring and summer so I guess that is why fall seems to be coming a little early too.  We've been treated to some gorgeous days. Since my last blog, I've heard from Constance Vogel Adamkiewicz to tell me her poems "Drought" and "Stone" were published on Little Eagle's RE/VERSE website. "Drought" was published September 11, 2012.  "Stone" was published February 20, 2012. "Drought" is ominous: "Someday from the lemur-eyes of gas masks,/ we … [Read more...]
