Default Best American Poetry, The American Scholar, etc.

I'll add my name to the Spherean conquest of Best American Poetry 2018. The poem they took was "Pied Beauty," a Hopkins spin-off that appeared in Birmingham Poetry Review last year. The poem is online here.

I'm also thrilled to have four poems in the current issue of The American Scholar (here's the link). Unfortunately, you can't actually see the poems unless you're a subscriber, so I've uploaded the poems on Google Drive, and you can read them here.

And finally, I have a poem titled "Driving Lessons" in an online journal called Talking Writing. Here's the link.

Thanks,
Nausheen

p.s. And if you like those poems (shameless plug alert), do check out my first collection, Not Elegy, But Eros, released in November by NYQ Books. Here's the link on the publisher's website, and on Amazon.

Congratulations, Nausheen! Your "Pied Beauty" seems elegantly thought and worded to me, and worthy of praise.

Cheers,
John

"Pied Beauty" is a deserving beauty indeed, and kudos on your haul, especially BAP!
