Default This and That

Contributor's copies are piling up on the table: Quadrant, First Things, Chronicles, Interpreter's House, Commonweal, round up the usual suspects. And acceptances keep coming in from those five same venues and a few others. Life is good when you're a right wing, nut job, evangelical Christian, especially if you started playing this game at seventeen. Thanks to anyone who helped me with these poems.

Hey, if every "nut job" (right or left) could write poems of such intelligence and formal mastery as yours, "Bring 'em on," I'd say. Congratulations on your fine work--new, old, & forthcoming.

And at least 3 of those markets will pay some money to help keep Chucky in Bits & Kibble. Good going.

Just received the new Dappled Things with a twelve part sequence I wrote during Holy Week and Octave of Easter in 2011. This is an important sequence to me. Alan was gone, I was in residence with my Irish priests in Fort Lauderdale, reading for two masses a day, and I just got up every morning and wrote down the previous night's poem that came in dream.

Just reviewed galleys for my largest unitary poem. It's 96 lines, six abba cddc octaves of pentameter, it's called Hard North, and it's about a voyage Alan and I took to Auyuituk Parc Nationale in 1989. I actually walked to le cercle arctique and did a little dance. My thanks to Chronicles, to Dr. Tom Fleming, and to Catharine Savage Brosman for publishing this big poem. My compositor, Aaron Wolf, got it all on one page as I had hoped. It reads a lot better than I remembered! Tim

I just read galleys for Hudson Review poems written and submitted 28 months ago. The lead time is really long. More acceptances, Chronicles, First Things, Quadrant. Les Murray asked me to review Alan Gould's new novel, The Spiral Seaglass, a terrific book. You have to go back a long way to find someone who writes both poetry and fiction as well as Alan does. It was Paul Stevens who sent me Gould's Selected, and Les will be publishing my short elegy for Paul.
