Tidbits

Hey all,

Two poems created as a part of the May Day poetry project will be printed in an upcoming issue of The Windsor ReView.

Though the poems have been edited and renamed since May, they originally saw the light of day on the eleventh and eighteenth days of May.

Thanks again to Polly, Jonathan, Paul and Myra for all their help over the length of the project.

In late-breaking news, I also just received word that my poem Bedding will be in Leaf Press' Looking for Love chapbook, which should be out before the holidays.

The way it worked was that they chose 40 poems with the intention of publishing 20 in the chapbook and the remaining 20 on their website. Once the 40 were chosen, they were forwarded to a judge, who chose three to win cash prizes.

While I didn't win, place, or show I am among the 20 that will be in print, instead of fizzling briefly on a website.

A.

great job Ariel -- you are definitely getting the work out there!! i've been lazy, though I am in the new Grimm magazine at present.

are you doing anything with that novel? or have you totally abandoned it? i'm plugging away at a novel right now, it's hard work.

Hey Jonathan,

Just picked up my special-ordered copy of Grimm from McNally Robinson ... the Winnipeg stores had sold out by the time I got around to picking one up.

Very nice to see both your name and also that of fellow writing group alumni Perry Grosshans...

(Thanks too, to the rest of you, for all your good wishes. Much appreciated...)

(oh yah, I almost forgot. The novel is waiting patiently for my writing skills to catch up with my vision for it...)
