I'm very happy to announce that my next book, Lady of the Moon, will be released by Headmistress Press on June 27. Here's a link for more info, wonderful blurbs from Lisa L. Moore, Julie Kane, and Marcia Karp, and a pre-order form. Headmistress Press will be selling books directly, along with the usual Amazon et al. Thanks to the delicious Spherian critters for critting some of these sonnets.

What fantastic successes you have had, Mary. Hearty congratulations.

Thanks, Janice. I'm especially pleased with Lisa L. Moore calling this book "a remarkable erotic and poetic event." These blurbs certainly keep one buoyed.

Congrats. It's your writing in the voice of Amy Lowell that I am looking forward to experiencing when I read this.

Thanks so much, Rickster. And here she is. I'm just about to burst with pride: yesterday marriage equality, today Gay Pride Day, and now my new book!!!

Congratulations, Mary. I've enjoyed reading many of these poems in what may have been earlier versions, and I'm looking forward to seeing them together and all spruced up. I've never heard of a book of poetry made up quite like this one.

Best,

Ed

Thanks, Ed. I looked through my records, and it appears I only workshopped around five of the sonnets. It was interesting to see that I wrote the first sonnet in the sequence in May, 2011. I know, with the three sections, it is different. I consider it a kind of amicus curiae, but I'm calling it an anthology.

Congratulations, Mary. I look forward to reading these.

Fantastic news, Mary! A beautiful 3-in-one, crowned with your powerful sonnets. You channel Amy Lowell so well, this should become a classic!

Thanks, Rob and Siham!! Speaking of Marriage Equality, one hundred years ago today, Amy and Ada were living together in Boston like a married couple, but totally hidden, totally in the closet, and suffering because of it. Could they ever have imagined this victory?!!!!
