Two poems of mine were featured yesterday by the International War Veterans’ Poetry Archives in Australia.
The first, “Syllables and Rocks,” is a darker love poem. The second, “With Apologies to William Blake,” is a tiny joke poem about drinking too much coffee, riffing on the opening lines of Blake’s “The Tyger.” Both pieces can be found at the IWVPA website here: http://iwvpa.net/nolaner/club.php
Illumen informed me on Monday that it will feature my set of three poems, entitled “Three Dreamers,” in its Spring 2014 issue. (This is a biannual publication, so there’s quite a wait time for pieces that have been accepted.) I’m thrilled because this is the first time my poems have been accepted by a print publication, and the first time they’ve been accepted by a literary journal inside the United States.
Illumen is a print magazine of speculative poetry published by Sam’s Dot Publishing, on 1 April and 1 October, in chapbook format. It contains speculative poetry, illustrations, articles, and reviews.
“Three Dreamers” first appeared with Dagda Publishing in the United Kingdom this past January.
