Poking My Head Out
Sep. 5th, 2013 10:59 pmHaven't updated this thing in nearly a month. Having one of those spells where I feel like I've been both immensely busy and have little to show for it. Been a bit consumed with the manuscript, really. It's eating up most of my attention. Been reading sections at The Outlaw Stage every Wednesday, and that's been keeping me moving. So if you want to hear it, that's where I'll be. Hope to have a first draft done by the beginning of November.
Was pleased to have four poems out in Nailed today: "The Revelation of Kate Gosselin, as Revealed to John Connor from the 'Terminator' Movies," "Four Ways of Looking at Lincoln," "Great Astronomical Discoveries Lately Made," and "Truths My Dealer Told Me."
Over at Radius, we've been busy making some revamps during our short hiatus, most notably, Sam Cha and Rachel McKibbens stepping up as poetry editors, Tara Betts and Heather Sommer moving into the role of contributing editors, where they'll be joined by Lauren Gordon, and Tatyana Brown becoming a regular contributor. All good stuff. We kicked off the next rotation with an opening editorial by myself, centering on Seamus Heaney's death, and a poem by the wonderful Rushelle Frazier.
Lastly, I've been a bit slow over at the Telegram's Pop Culture Notebook, probably because I've been splitting my energies between the manuscript and mastering our new computer layout program. Still, there have been a few bright spots, including thoughts on why Harry Connick Jr. is the best choice for an American Idol judge ever (although oddly, I think the version that's appearing in the paper tomorrow is better), and a piece on Miley Cyrus, Ben Affleck and the Rorschach test of popular culture.
All right. Things to do in the morning. I'll try not to wait so long to write next time.
