Review Release and Other Spring Things

I edited the 2011 Edgewood Review which just came out today. The journal features poetry, fiction, and photography by Edgewood College students and alumni. Copies are currently available at Avol's Books, Michelangelo's Coffee House, Madison Public Library (Central Library), and in most buildings on the Edgewood campus.

Here are some photos...

I found out that I'll be receiving a Bauer Scholarship at Akron next year. Very excited!

Is it spring? I'm not sure. There's snow on the ground in Madison...

Next Year

I was recently admitted into some grad school programs for poetry, and today I accepted at the University of Akron and the NEOMFA Program (Northeast Ohio Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing).

I'll be starting in the fall and will be fully funded. I'll have an assistantship that waives tuition and provides a small stipend that will continue through my time there.

Shortly after accepting, I was offered a position to be a poetry editor next year for Rubbertop Review which I accepted.

I'm very excited!

3 New Poems Out...and stuff...

I have three new poems in Camroc Press Review.

I've had a busy week so far and I can't believe it's only Wednesday. I need to stay focused. I currently feel like this.

New Poem, New Season (Almost)

I have a new poem in the online journal Pure Francis. It just came out today. You can check out Pure Francis here.

I have three new poems coming out in another online journal one month from now. I'll post the link when those poems come out.

I'm ready for spring break. One week to go...

Peaches...

I'm looking forward to reading at Tongue and Ink this weekend. It will be nice to get out of town.

Carrie Lorig wrote a two part article for Dane 101 about the various reading series in Madison, including Back Porch Reading. You can read it here.

I really like the Takenobu version of the song "Shady Grove." I like most of his songs so far.

This evening I heard the Rev. Jesse Jackson speak on the square. Here are some photos I took earlier this evening...
