The latest pending acceptances
have been for anthologies. I just received Heron
Clan VII which is a beautifully produced book with eye-catching art on the
cover. So far I like these poems: Charlotte Mandel’s “Ancient Love,” a poem
written in terza rima about the bones of two people found in tight embrace and
Doug Stouber’s “Black Waters of Tarpon” a rather complicated language-y poem
addressing guitar, music, Florida, mental institution. Kudos to all involved in
producing such a book in just under five months’ time—must be a record.
I also had my Sherman Alexie
style sonnet “the bell sonnet” accepted for publication in This Is What America Looks Like: the Washington Writers’ Publishing
House Anthology (Washington, DC, early 2021).
