How cool is this?

On Red Lion Square (see also www.redlionsq.com) you can hear me reading three poems:  "Bad Diagnosis", "Actually...", and "In the Mirror".  It's an interesting site, both audio and visually, and worth a look.

One of FIVE chihuahuas that took great offense at our walking past their yard.  A real hellhound, and not less for having no more teeth.  Scary little mothah.

And Another Thing...

...you would think there wouldn't be many drawbacks to getting a chapbook selected for publication, but....but....any poems appearing in the chapbook are, well, published, and therefore no longer eligible for being submitted to various journals.  Am I counting scalps?  Somewhat, I suppose.  There are some seven poems that will see print only in this chapbook or in its analogs, and I think they were good ones, and I would have liked it if someone in the wider world might have read them.  Not exactly the world's saddest problem.
