Mrs. Anna Evans has accepted "In His Beak An Olive Branch" for the next issue of "BarefootMuse". I am glad that there will be a sound file with that pub. I always enjoy that journal.

After years of submitting my poems and translations to "Arion" I am ecstatic to announce that the editor, Herbert Golder, accepted my original poems "Helen's Iliad" and "The Marriage of Peleus and Thetis" for its next issue. This means a lot to me because I, as a Classicist and poet, could not imagine a more intimidating line-up for an editorial board--Bernard Knox, Oliver Taplin, Anne Carson, Camille Paglia, etc., scholars I relied on and deferred to when I was in school.

[Maryann Corbett]

Optime, Aaron, on all this, though we understand why the Arion acceptances are especially meaningful, and we're happy for you.

[Rick Mullin]

Good news, Aaron. The Arion acceptance sounds like a real high water mark.

Anna is taking my "Dolphin Weather" in the Barefoot Muse, so I'll see you there.

Congratulations!

Martin

[Michael Juster]

Congratulations! (I can't even get Arion to send me a response!)

[Tim Murphy]

Congratulations. As I understand it Anna Evans is taking over the Raintown Review from Tom Kerrigan after the next issue.

[Shaun J. Russell]

Nice work, Aaron. That Arion acceptance DOES sound hard-fought and well-earned.

I'll also be in The Barefoot Muse this time around with a fairly recent piece of mine called "Graphic Nature."

[Aaron Poochigian]

Thanks, all. Glad that I will be in your company, Shaun. Are you going to make a sound file of your poem? Hope so.

Yes, Tim, that's good news--I like Mrs. Evans' taste so much that I would be happy if she were the editor of dozens of journals. I am also glad to see that Quincy will be involved.

Mike, I pm'ed you.
