Anthology invite
 

This is quite wonderful. Congratulations!

You are having very good success at getting editors to respond to your poems by hearing them. Maybe the rest of us should ask for pointers!

You gotta hit the street before noon.

--Thanks, Maryann.

Congrats! How exciting.

Congratulations, Rick. That is fantastic!

Tracey

(BTW, I really enjoyed the last installment here, but didn't get a chance to say it!)

Rick, this is wonderful news. That poem is a winner. Original subject matter and well-crafted.

Which chapter, Rickster??

I'm over-the-moon to hear this. It's a big, completely deserved, deal!!

Cally

Splendid news!

(And Cally, I assume you're okay, which is also splendid news).

Thanks Gail,

And just what I was thinking.

Thanks Tracy, Julie, Janice and Cally--Cally let us know!

RM

I'm fine, Gail and Rick! I posted a brief account of the damage on the GT thread yesterday so you would know. Just to prove to you I am alive and kicking, and another day is dawning calm across the Pacific, I snapped this for you a moment ago. I'm preparing to hit the road again soon. Lots to do!

Love and thanks for your caring!

Cally

Thanks Cally--You look resilient and altogether radiant. Above all, safe and sound. I always pay close attention to the hands in a portrait. They say a lot here--along the lines of, "I'm preparing to hit the road again soon. Lots to do!"


All our best to Janet.

Woo Hoo
 

Rick,

This is the best news I have heard in a long while, and I've needed cheering. So well deserved -- Soutine is an excellent piece. I'm thrilled for you...

and off to brave the snow and ice for a night class...

Marybeth

Thanks Marybeth.

It's the last two sections of of Book 2, Chapter 3 that Jim likes, where Soutine experiences the Louvre.

RM

Congratulations, Rick. Getting the work done and getting the work out are two different acts and you seem to be skilled at both.

Nothing beats having someone ask you for it! Soutine's an excellent read so I'm not surprised. Congrats, Rick.

Congratulations, Rick!

Congratulations, Rick.

Very cool deal Rick. Congrats. By the way, "Spirit of '76" is my favorite piece int he current Soundzine, especially your reading of it. Your "Ah ha ha!" is worth the price of admission.

David R.

Great to hear about it, Rick. Congrats!

How'd I miss this? Huge congrats! Excellent news...

By the way, who's the attractive woman pictured in this thread? She looks both cool and exotic....

Thanks,

Bill

Me too, Bill -- how did I miss this?

Congratulations, Rick.
I mean -- you haven't even finished writing it yet, and it's already being anthologized????
That's amazing!

P.S. Cally -- you look terrific! Those images really make me wonder what I'm doing here struggling down the alternately ice-covered, slushy NYC sidewalks day after day ... I'm moving to Australia !
