Stoner & Soderling in The Rotary Dial
 

I have a poem, and Janice has two, in the November issue of The Rotary Dial. PDF comp copy available here (password ektoplazm, scroll down to Issue 21):

This is my first publication in several years--my last one was when I had a piece in Moira Egan's Hot Sonnets anthology in 2011. I've also had a recent acceptance from The Raintown Review for an upcoming issue. (And I've also had a whole buncha rejections recently, so it seems I've picked up exactly where I left off, heh.)

Anyway, yay me.

And yay Janice--I recognized one of her poems as having been workshopped here a while back. And yay Marcus Bales, whom I do not know, but I thoroughly enjoyed his hilarious parody of Poe's "The Bells" in this issue (and I noticed that he had two pieces in the current issue of Snakeskin, so maybe some of you know him).

Congrats, Julie. And Janice and Marcus.

Marcus Bales is familiar to me from Facebook, where he often publishes his work.

Congratulations Julie and Janice.
I've now got the November Dial on my Kindle. I peeped at the "Look Inside'' bit on Amazon and read your Purple Rain poem, Julie. It's wonderful. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the issue.

According to the Members List we have a MarcusBales (with no space between the names). He joined in 2001 and last posted in 2002. Perhaps you can persuade him to return to us, Bob?

Thanks for sharing that, Julie. I loved your ballade, and I don't get to see many of them. I also enjoyed Janice's poems and those of Marcus.

Julie,

Thank you! And congrats, to you, Janice and Marcus. I took a quick look, enough to see that these are poems deserving of more time. I do have to do some work to do now, but will come back later for sure.

Congratulations, Julie and Janice.

I messaged Marcus about this thread and tried to interest him in returning to the Sphere. Now it's up to him. But you can always find him on Facebook.

Congrats, Julie and Janice! That's a great journal.

A poignant poem, Julie.

Thanks for posting this notice. Congratulations also to Marcus and thanks to all friends.

Congratulations, Julie and Janice. A good journal and fine poems.
