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...]

Under construction

Home has been undergoing some changes lately. And by home, I mean my literal home and not the "home" page on this website. I am still happy with my home on the web, it's just been ignored lately as I have been doing some remodeling projects at my home base.  When I was planning this construction I imagined myself tethered to my house but productive, you know, writing and working as lines were plumbed, tiles set and counter tops installed. But that's not the case. I have been … [Read more...]

Luisa A. Igloria — seven poems

10/26/2012 By Ellen Beals 6 Comments

In my last post I introduced you to Dave Bonta, a poet and literary magazine editor from the eastern edge of western Pennsylvania, and his must-read blog Via Negativa, which posts poems, photos, essays, etc.  I also mentioned that there is microblog companion site called The Morning Porch.  Here Dave posts short (140 character) descriptions and poems; these in turn have been used as prompts by master poet Luisa A. Igloria who writes a poem every day mostly in response to … [Read more...]

First, we've been working to make Solace in So Many Words a good choice for book clubs. To that end, we have added a new page on our website.  It's a drop down link under Solace in So Many Words, and it is a comprehensive list of discussion questions for every entry in the anthology.  You can check out the questions directly here. Some of the questions were suggested by contributors, some were written by Yana Passater, and some were written by Laura Briskman, who then … [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
