Oliver just had some more poems accepted for print and online publication!
The New Formalist has accepted three poems:
"Van Gogh Paints The Raising Of Lazarus" "Divining Lines" and "Wet Watercolor". They are to be published online next week and in their print journal later in the year!

Do post a link Oliver, when they come online.

Again, congratulations.
I'm tooting, because I know you won't. LOL

Mel

Melalope,

Many thanks for your encouragement and kind remarks and
for posting these congratulations. I hope we'll still see you on Eratosphere from time to time in the future.

No, I should have done this myself. These three poems were all workshopped on the Metric and Deep End Boards and it would be invidious to mention the names of all those who commented, encouraged or advised to varying degrees, but you know who you are! I am still fairly new at this, so it means a lot to me to make a start and get a few things published, and also to justify, to some extent, your help and comments. Many thanks.

Regards,

Oliver.

Congratulations Oliver! I love those poems.
Renate

Oliver, I'm sure this is just the beginning.

Your Benediction, current on the boards, is a gorgeous thing.

Congratulations on these publications,

Oliver

That's exciting, three poems accepted at once! And The New Formalist too—fine work, fine publication. Congratulations!

Thanks, Melalope, for the news.

Terese

Oliver,

Many congratulations. If the poems are anywhere near the standard of Evening Benediction I eagerly await their appearance.

Well done, Oliver, and well deserved. -- Henry

Congratulations, Oliver, on getting three poems accepted by The New Formalist. Your titles are certainly fetching - particularly, "Van Gogh Paints The Raising of Lazarus". I look forward to reading them when they get posted. All the best, Don

Hello, Kiwi,

How nice to see you on the Eratosphere Board again - I hope you will post something soon. I remember your encouragement when I was starting out and I appreciate it.

Henry,

Many thanks indeed. I've just made an amendment to "Evening benediction" - the "betrayed" bit as you suggested, you old grammarian you.

Don,

Thank you indeed for your remarks. I think I'm hopeful that they do live up to the titles and I hope you like the Van Gogh one particularly.

Regards to all,

Oliver.

Good work, Oliver! I'm glad Mel spilled the beans! They're great poems and I'm sure we'll be seeing future announcements like this one! :)

Patti

Hello, Patti,
