[Terese Coe]

I’m delighted to have a poem, Idomeni, in the exciting new print issue of Able Muse and in the company of impressive poets and writers (and possibly Sphere members) Mark Jarman, Catharine Savage Brosman, Aaron Poochigian, Brooke Astor, William Conelly, Emily Grosholz, and others too numerous to list.

I have two poems in the new Avatar Review as well: http://www.avatarreview.net/AV19/contents/
and have recently received my contributor’s copies of The Hopkins Review and Metamorphoses, with one each of my translations. The Hopkins Review is also graced by the poems and prose of Dick Davis, John Marcus Powell, John Whitworth, JD McClatchy, Rachel Hadas, Johanna Keller, Ernie Hilbert, Ned Balbo, and Nemo Hill, among others. Tony Barnstone has work in Metamorphoses as well.

Many thanks to the editorial staffs of each of these publications, and especially to the talented editors Alex Pepple, Steve Harris, David Yezzi, and Thalia Pandiri. Orchards was mentioned previously by Siham Kirami, and here’s a shout-out to Karen Kelsay Davies as well to express my gratitude for her strong dedication.

Wonderful news, Terese. Those other stellar poets are in great company! It's good to know that both The Hopkins Review and Metamorphoses publishes translations. Karen's in England right now and is posting some beautiful photos on Facebook. Once again, Kudos!

[Michael F]

Congratulations, Terese, on a lush harvest!

[Terese Coe]

Thank you, Cathy and Michael.

Yes, try these journals for translations, Cathy. I've been looking at Karen's photos and they're a vicarious trip!

[Jennifer Reeser]

What a stretch of metrical real estate, Terese! I like where you took "Mr. God," especially.

Unexpected.

Jennifer

[Terese Coe]

Thanks, Jennifer!

"Mr. God" is unusual for me, that's true. But then it's not really "me." Or so they say.

[Jennifer Reeser]

Well, it would seem the rational conclusion that neither aliens nor demon spirits took possession of your pen -- so I am going to assume fairly that it is "you."

Besides, you know what Frost said. "No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader."

I enjoyed the poems in Avatar Review, Terese, and look forward to getting my hands on the others. Congratulations!

Jennifer, of course we all interpret as we wish. "God" means many things to many people, including the god or potential god in ourselves.

[Deleted a short paragraph as off-topic.]

Susan, thank you! I hope you are able to read the other poems as well.

What they all said plus my own unique "nice!".
