[Diane Dees]

In spite of myself (I've had many months of personal upheaval), I have some publications to report. I'm here--just reading when I can and not posting much. Anyway, there have been some good reprint experiences in the last several months:

What Poets See (an anthology from FutureCycle Press)--"Lament for Louisiana"
The Book of Forms--"Cleaning the Astoria"
Shaking Intensified (anthology of work from the original Shaking Like A Mountain (it's no longer a music-themed pubilcation)--"Her Knees Are Weak" (a short story in 3rd or 4th reprint)
Origmami Poetry Project--"To the Man Playing the Accordion in the Meditation Garden" (edited significantly to fit the small folded page)

A previously unpublished poem:
MOBIUS--"For Yoko at Age 78"

And these are upcoming:
MOBIUS--"Summer Concert--Hammond, Louisiana"
Poetry Breakfast--five different poems to appear weekly for 5 consecutive weeks, starting Sept. 21

That's great news, Diane. And I hope the personal baddies will soon be old news.

All are good, but esp. glad to see you at Origami. I'll go straight there now to read. And then to Mobius and then and then.

[Maryann Corbett]

Thanks for giving us your news, Diane, and for letting us know you still read around here.

[Nicholas F.]

Congrats, Diane. Be well.
