First news of the year –accomplishments and passages

January is peppermint. Candy canes are the last of the holiday candy. Shadows stripe the days. And the arctic air makes your breath seem almost mentholated. Everything's a little sharper. It is wonderful to see Solace in So Many Words contributors do illustrious things. BIG congrats to Ellen Bass, who recently was elected to the Academy of American Poets Board of Chancellors. BTW, if you resolve to read more poetry this year, check out the Poem-A-Day series. And … [Read more...]

News, call for submissions, and what’s “just?”

Jan Bottiglieri has a book of poems out—it is called Alloy and it is from Mayapple Press. Here's how Mayapple describes Jan's book: "A butterfly casts the shadow of a man; a homesick mermaid cleans teeth; a young girl pushes a heavy iron, singing. In Alloy, these and others (daughter, mother, astronaut; an occasional zombie or alien) find voice through poems exploring memory in all its shifting sense and purpose: from childhood recollection to adult reckoning, from folklore … [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.

Updates: Kirk, Mahan, Kerlikowske, McConnell and 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'
