Hayden's Ferry Review Blog: Writing to Remember

The fine people at HFR have posted one of my poems from their latest issue on their blog. Go check it out, and while you're there, order a copy of the issue--you won't be sorry.

Hayden's Ferry Review Blog: Writing to Remember: The HFR staff will be taking a break from the blog until 2012, but we thought this lovely poem would be fantastic inspiration over this ...

Sumthin' Else

Hi, Friends--

Please check out the latest review of Pretty, Rooster, by Adam Day, over at The Tusculum Review site. While you're there, check out the other pages on the review, too, and send us some work. Tell your friends. Get yourself a copy.

And, while you're on the web, look up some of Adam's work. It's fantastic stuff, and you're missing out if you don't know it.

Thanks as always for being here.

Doodle-do

The Rooster has a page. Go now and check it out:

Big thanks to Adam for putting it together. They're about to start reading manuscripts, so, if you do that sort of thing, send them something.

Here's some nice words from Mark Wallace about the book, too (and some other good ones):

Hi, there. Happy New Year.

I'm late getting these out there, but if you haven't seen them yet, there's two new literary journals on the block that are must reads.

The first is The Fiddleback. This one has a sweet debut with poems from the likes of Lisa Lewis, Nate Pritts, Steven Schroeder, and more. An old pal, Jeff Simpson, is putting it out. Check it out.

The next one is edited by Scott Abels, Country Music. The first issue of this one has some great work, too, featuring poets like Matt Hart, Lucy Biederman, Jim Goar, and Jackie Clark. Go say Hi.

Go tell it on the mountain.

Come buy, Come buy

Pretty, Rooster. Available Now.

And Yr Bird Can Sing

The new book, Pretty, Rooster, gets a nod in Publisher's Weekly. Check it out:

Also, be sure to watch this site and the Cooper Dillon site for the official release, coming your way soon. In the meantime, head over to Cooper Dillon and buy some books!

Tickled

Very, very happy to announce that my next book, Pretty, Rooster, is going to be published by the fine, fine folks at Cooper Dillon Books. If you like roosters and sonnets and love and motors, then this thing is built custom just for you.

But no need to sit around waiting. They've got a fantastic catalog already rolling. So get that way and buy a book. Buy a few. Tell the people. Live the dream. Go forth and spread the word.

Only one thing I did wrong...

Be sure and check out the new issue of Rick Magazine. For those of you unfamiliar with Rick Magazine, you might recognize it as the successor to the Mississippi Review online edition. Be sure and read up on your history there.

My friend, Vallie Lynn Watson, edits the newest issue: Summer 2010. Take a peak--there's good stuff to be found. Psst, psst, pass it around--share with friends.

Mic Check

Cool off from the heat and check out this first book interview I did with Keith Montesano here. There's lots of other good ones already posted, too, so browse around. While you're in that neck of the woods, head over to Keith's blog and buy yourself a beautiful copy of his book, Ghost Lights.

Moonshine

You all should go now and check out the new issue of Still. I've got some sonnets in there, and there's lots of awesome work. Shoo, now. Shoo.

Be Mine

I've been really enjoying the new issues of Grist and the Burnside Review. Not only are these journals beautiful to hold, there's some fantastic work in there, too. Be a dear and buy an issue. Tell your friends.

Also, I've been spending some quality time with quality books. One is David Dodd Lee's The Nervous Filaments. Light makes these little leaps across spaces. Sometimes great spaces between the sky and earth. There are lines in this book that will fill you up, burn you down, and break your heart.

Also, if you haven't yet, you've gotta get Nate Pritts's The Wonderfull Yeare.

Go spend a little money. It feels good.

Hit-or-Miss Elegy

Bark!

Be sure and head over to Willow Springs' blog Bark, where Amanda Maule offers some lovely words about Runoff.

Lunch

Digging into the new issues of Bateau and Spinning Jenny. They're beautiful. You need them in your life. Go and order copies, subscribe, spread the word.
