God...it's been almost a month since I blogged. I intended to post before this. I'm going to try to be a little better now that things have slowed down.
But, I've got a few tidbits of good news.
I was picked for one of the 8 poetry spots at this year's Lambda Literary Foundation Retreat in August with DA Powell.
I finished up and mailed out my contributor's agreement for my essay to appear in Michael Montlack's Diva Complex.
I'll be on deck as a speaker/reader at a tribute to Irene McKinney, WV Poet Laureate, next Monday night.
I almost forgot one: Brian's flying in Sunday night and we'll be spending a few days in Charleston.

Welcome back, RJ. Was about to send out a search party for your ass.
I just put my DIVA Complex agreement in the mail this morning. Very exciting.
Congrats on the Lambda retreat!
That's great news man. Congrats. Good to hear from you and have a blast!
Yeay Lambda! Enjoy SF in August...it's awesome! DA Powell is wonderful.
Woo hoo! Have fun at Lambda! You'll have a great time in Doug's workshop... he's an amazing teacher. I'm envious! I thought about applying for that, but the money just isn't there for a workshop this year... I hope you'll blog about it so we can all share in the experience vicariously!
(As an amusing "small world" note, I first met Michael Montlack a few years back in DA Powell's workshop in Provincetown. So cool to see that his diva book is getting off the ground! I don't know Irene McKinney at all, though. :) )
Thanks Guys. I'm still sort of floating while it's sinking in.
Anne: You should check out her last book "Vivid Companion" from WVU Press. It's her third book--but by far my favorite.
