I keep thinking to myself--maybe this week I'll post something. Then I get sucked into work, or new poems, or Facebook and nothing happens. I'm not even really gardening this year--mainly weeding and maintaining what I've got growing already.
BUT--I do have some news. My chapbook won the Robin Becker Contest in the category for poets without a chapbook already. You can read more here. The release date is February 15, 2009. I am careening back and forth between numb and excited. It's been a crazy day and a half since I got word.

RJ! That's fantastic. Big ass congratulations my friend.
Thanks Keith!
That's awesome news! And at 7 Kitchens, your book is going to get so much loving attention, each one hand crafted. I can't wait to read.
Congrats! Is this the manuscript you let me read some time ago?
Brent--Thanks. I know--I'm excited to have a book that'll get that much time and attention. Ron does a great job putting them together. The ones I have from 7 Kitchens are just lovely.
Collin-- Thanks. I think there are maybe 3 or 4 poems that survived that initial stab. The rest are all fairly new.
BTW--I got Ginger's chapbook in the mail and it's lovely. Fantastic poems.
Very cool. Congrats again. Ginger's book is indeed lovely.
