\"\"<\/a>I’m glad never to be caught up to date on reporting the news from Solace in So Many Words<\/strong><\/em> contributors because that means they are getting new publications every day. \u00a0But it also could mean I haven’t paid attention to all my emails and news. So last week when I said I gave you the latest, well, I missed a few things. \u00a0At the reading at Woman Made Gallery<\/strong> I spoke with a woman in the audience and she said “March Wind” by Wally Swist<\/strong> was her favorite poem, and I could see why. Even though the poem is about a gust that blows everything clean, there is much that is ordered, precise and gentile about the work. \u00a0The poem is just so. \u00a0I think I already mentioned, but it bears repeating, that Wally’s book \u00a0Huang Po and the Dimensions of Love<\/em>,<\/strong> was chosen by Yusef Komunyakaa<\/strong> as a co-winner in the Crab Orchard Series Open Poetry Competition<\/strong>, and will be published by Southern Illinois University Press<\/strong> in the spring of 2012. However, I don\u2019t think I told you that two of Wally\u2019s poems (\u201cCinnamon Honey\u201d and \u201cNymphs and Satyr\u201d) \u00a0have been published in the November issue of the online journal called Connotation Press: An Online Artifact<\/a>. <\/em><\/strong>The poems are from a new manuscript called A Field of Sunflowers<\/em>. \u00a0Wally also mentioned to me in an email that he is working on an audio book so I will let you know about that.<\/p>\n

Over the holidays, Pamela Malone<\/strong> (“Sometimes”) sent a card and enclosed a poem called “A Walk in the Woods” <\/strong>illustrated with a photo of sun streaming down through leafy treetops. When I asked about it in an email, Pamela said she already posted it on her blog<\/a><\/strong> on Open Salon. Pamela posts photographs and poetry on her blog, and also writes about the real housewives, republicans and reality shows–check it out.<\/p>\n

In his blog<\/a>,\u00a0T. C. Boyle <\/strong>reports that When the Killing’s Done<\/em><\/strong> will be out in paperback this spring and a new novel, San Miguel<\/em><\/strong>, will be out in fall of 2012. \u00a0Joe Meno<\/a> <\/strong>will also have a new novel this year, Office Girl<\/strong><\/em>, which is due out in July.<\/p>\n

Patty Somlo <\/strong>(“Starting to Breathe”) has a short story \u00a0(“Standing Guard”) in the winter solstice issue of Cirque<\/a><\/strong><\/em>, Literary Journal for the North Pacific Rim. \u00a0The story is about a soldier returning from Iraq. Cirque was founded in 2009 by Mike Burwell and is published out of Anchorage, AK.\u00a0\"issue<\/a><\/p>\n
