Blue light \u00a9 Ellen Wade Beals, 2017<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Hello out there! March ends and April begins. Poetry Month<\/strong> starts tomorrow–be prepared to celebrate whether you want to or not!<\/p>\n

It’s also April Fool’s Day<\/strong> so pay attention and don’t fall for any malarkey.<\/p>\n

Kudos go to several contributors to Solace in So Many Words<\/em><\/strong>, including\u00a0 Michael C. McConnell<\/strong> whose short story, “Dancing,” about recovering from Guillian-Barre Syndrome, was named as an honorable mention<\/strong> in the 2017 Literature and Medicine writing contest for Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas<\/strong><\/a>. Woot.<\/p>\n

There are several reasons to extend congrats to Patty Somlo.<\/strong>\u00a0 Her book Even When Trapped Behind Clouds<\/em> <\/strong>received an honorable mention<\/strong> in the memoir category from Reader Views<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Patty’s essay \u201cWalking to Infinity\u201d appears in Leaping Clear<\/strong><\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

She is also a contributor to the anthology Golden State,<\/em><\/strong> Best new fiction and nonfiction from California. It is recently\u00a0 published by Outpost 19<\/a><\/strong>.\"GoldenState2017-promo\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And remember Patty Somlo\u2019s<\/strong> new book Hairway to Heaven<\/em><\/strong> is out this summer from Cherry Castle<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Shout out to Donna Hilbert <\/strong>who has two poems\u00a0 (“Peninsula, Long Beach”” and “Traveler”) up on Verse Virtual<\/a>.
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

And also to Kathleen Aguero<\/strong> who will be giving a workshop at the 2017 Narrative Medicine Symposium<\/a> <\/strong>at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston.<\/p>\n

I check lots of places to find submission info. Calls that caught my eye include:<\/p>\n

Fifty Over Fifty Anthology from Quill’s Edge Press<\/strong><\/a>;<\/p>\n

Postcard Poems and Prose Magazine<\/a><\/strong>;<\/p>\n

and Passager Books, dedicated to writers over 50<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
