\"\"<\/a>Happy June 29th<\/sup> \u2013hope your summer is going well so far. Here in Chicago I know it\u2019s summer because the weeds are taking off and the skeeters are back.\u00a0 And it\u2019s the season of the Cancer birthdays. Meanwhile this must be a bumper crop year for the cottonwood trees because the infernal cotton is still blowing around.<\/p>\n

My friend Rochelle Distelheim<\/strong> (whose story <\/em>“The Kiss-Me-Quick” <\/a><\/em><\/strong>appeared here in January) has a story “Talking About the Tango”\u00a0 posted June 25, 2014\u00a0 in Ascent<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, which is out of Concordia College in Moorhead, MN.<\/p>\n

Rhino <\/strong><\/em><\/a>is open for\u00a0 submissions until August 31.<\/p>\n

Kevin Nance<\/strong> has the cover story “How I Found My Agent: Ten Authors on Meeting the One”\u00a0 in the latest (July\/August) issue Poets & Writers.<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

Recently I found out about\u00a0 a digital magazine that started this year\u2013it\u2019s called Control<\/strong><\/em><\/a>, the tagline for which is “Bringing you a new and diverse range of art and literature.” Submissions are sought.<\/p>\n

Last night I was catching up on Twitter and realized there had been a big to-do of which I was totally unaware.\u00a0 It\u2019s a long story. Miles Klee <\/strong>writes about it in June 27 edition of The Daily Dot<\/strong><\/em>. You can guess what it’s about from the post’s title\u00a0 “The great New York literary subtweet war of 2014.”<\/strong> <\/a>The tale is a familiar one in this day when the Internet gives us all a forum, which we can choose to use positively or we can let our egos and baser instincts pull us down a rabbit hole of bad behavior. All around this was a sad situation.\u00a0 I agree with Miles Klee’s<\/strong> final sentence: “Let’s all try to do better, shall we?” Yes, let’s.<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week\u2019s Glimpse<\/a> <\/strong>comes from Daniel Cleary<\/strong>. In the past I\u2019ve shared his poems “Fireside”<\/strong><\/a> and “More Snow”<\/strong><\/a> and painting was mentioned only in his biography. Most mornings when I open my FB page, I am greeted by a cheery \u201cGood morning\u201d and one of Dan\u2019s paintings. So I asked him to share some here.\u00a0 Thanks Dan!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Peace, love, and solace <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
