Rubbertop Review Submissions

Rubbertop Review is open for submissions of poetry, fiction, and creative nonfiction.

Guidelines available here.

Update (01/21/12): 
The next issue of Rubbertop Review that will feature interviews with songwriter Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys and Iowa Prize winner Josh Rolnick is going to have an "Ohio Connections" contributors theme. If you have an Ohio connection of some kind or know a writer with an Ohio connection of some kind the editors want to see your work. No need for you to live in Ohio or for the work to be about Ohio. You just need to have an Ohio connection (you decide what that is). February 1 deadline fast approaching! Happy submissions!

Ingenuity Fest

I'll be reading with Nick Sturm, Mike Krutel, and Sam Snodgrass at Ingenuity Fest in Cleveland on Sunday, September 18th.

The reading is at 1 pm. We'll be reading in the Wandering Cave space. More information is available here and here.

Akron!

I arrived in Akron this weekend and I'm still unpacking at my new place.

In July, I was asked to read at Malone University with Michael Goroff and Eliese Goldbach in January. I'll post more on that later.

Feels like fall.

Update (08/21/11):

Everyone has been incredibly welcoming so far.

I went to the Akron Art Museum yesterday. I really liked it and it's free(!) for University of Akron students.

Looks like I'll be reading in Cleveland in September at Ingenuity Fest.

New Poem Out (& Happy 4th!)

I have a new poem in Clutching at Straws.

Happy 4th everyone!

A Poetry Acceptance and an Art Show

I found out yesterday that a new poem of mine is forthcoming in the online journal Clutching at Straws. I'll post a link to it when it comes out.

On Friday I went to an art show at cometogetherstudios in Bloomington, Illinois. I got to see some great pieces and explore their amazing new space.
