My chap"book" is finally out
Not sure how I feel about this layout or the lack of a book to hold and give to friends and family. I understand an anthology will be physically printed at some point, but I think it will be an anthology of all the Journals for the year with my "book" in the center (as a pull-out, I was told, but I think this concept is still in flux). Nice announcement and blurb here:
http://www.flyway.org/2011/10/01/iss...now-available/
The Journal includes my chapbook, a novella and an essay or two by others. I have not read it all yet. Flyway is the Journal of Writing and Environment from Iowa State University. Download purchases obviously do not go to me (just the prize money), but to the department to continue carrying out this mission. Just wanted you to know too this is just an announcement and not a solicitation. Hope this is OK ALex (please remove it if it is not) I am simply proud to have won this prize and to see my work in "print."

Cyn,
Hurrah for the prize, hurrah for the publication, and hurrah for this:
“In Broken Water, Cynthia Neely begins with ancestry and ends with loss, but what persists, what weaves itself through all of these poems is wildness. This collection makes the lyrical case for sustenance in nature. Even the greatest suffering is not too much for the world of bird and wolf, seal and wave. If we can draw our gaze up from a ground littered with shotgun shells, we might catch a glimpse of “the meadowlark, bibbed and shining.”
Very, very cool, and I'm sure there are even greater things to come. Congrats!
Thanks,
Bill
