And I get sucked into it again

My poem "Mercury Radio Theatre" has been accepted by Through the Gate. I wrote it after watching Orphée (1949) with [livejournal.com profile] lesser_celery and thinking about Cocteau and radio with [livejournal.com profile] asakiyume. All these things considered, the fact that it was written during mostly a pair of Post-Meridian Radio Players rehearsals is really unsurprising.

My poem "Ψάπφοι Σελάννα" has been accepted by Apex Magazine, which asked me to contribute last week when I was moving and couldn't think about anything except boxes. The title is Aeolic Greek for "The Moon to Sappho." I wrote it thinking about lyric fragments, a poem by [livejournal.com profile] skogkatt and something [livejournal.com profile] cucumberseed said at Arisia. It is pretty much what it sounds like.

Those were the bookends of my day.

Don't be surprised if you burst out in an unusual number of poems during the coming days. That's what happened to me after a very happy move at the end of 2010, as you saw at the time.

Also I congratulate you on the sales and the move.

Congratulations!

Both of those poems are wonderful, and I'm glad they've been accepted, because they very much deserve to be.

Lovely! I hope the new space and the engagement bring forth a rush of poetry.

HOORAY! This delights me, as I suspect this means your poem will appear in the issue in which I am extolling the virtues of your poetry.
