Amidst all the rejection letters and e-mails, I've had a few pieces of good news.
First, I'm delighted to be published for the first time in one of my favorite literary journals. My poem "Pixelated" is in the Winter 2011 issue of Appalachian Heritage. Being in the same volume as Charles Wright is certainly humbling, but it is also an absolute honor to be in the same pages as Bianca Spriggs (whose work I find beautiful and absolutely electric) and the first two professionals who helped me to write: Gurney Norman and Anne Shelby.
Also, I have two poems "X Speaks" and "My Neighbor's Shame" coming out in this year's issue of Kudzu. I love these two poems and am excited to see them in the ears and minds of more people.
Now if I can just get a a few of these stories published someplace...
