The Galway Review publishes my poem “Where Would We Go?” — and also selects it for its 2026 anthology.

I’m ecstatic!  The Galway Review today published my poem “Where Would We Go?” — and also selected it for its next anthology, The Galway Review 14.

You can find the poem at The Galway Review online right here.

The anthology will be released in April 2026; I’ll post purchasing details when they become available.

The Galway Review is the leading literary magazine for Galway, the fourth largest city in the Republic of Ireland.  It features contemporary reviews, fiction, non-fiction, poetry and photography, and seeks to publish work that is “beautiful and different.”

I am once again grateful to Managing Editor Ndrek Gjini and his colleagues for allowing me to see my work showcased by this important literary resource for Northern Europe and beyond.

Uhhh … thank you, Mistress, may I have another?

I submitted a poem to a new journal; I got a somewhat terse rejection letter.  Then, just to underscore the point, they sent me the same rejection letter a day later.  Sort of an encore-type thing.

Then, finally, I get an e-mail welcoming me to “The Sub Club” asking me if I “Want Attention.”  I swear I am not making this up.

Not even gonna touch that one.
