Should it bother me when it's really gone beyond what anyone expected?

My poem "Facilior" is now online at inkscrawl. That was fast. Everything I said about it here is still true.

My poem "Aristeia" is now online at Apex Magazine. I had a migraine when I wrote it in December 2011. It's about chronic pain and art. Ἀριστεία means "excellence" in classical Greek; in epic it refers to a moment of great heroism (trans. TV Tropes, "Crowning Moment of Awesome"). I couldn't write the poem I was trying to that cold Monday, but I like the one I got.

Last night was a mixed bag of nightmares, but it is a new month this morning. I am now reading submissions for Strange Horizons for the months of April and May. Send me poems! The world is full of great writing I haven't seen yet! No joke.

Hooray for poems! I really like Facilior. I think I need to read Aristeia when I can give it my full attention and not in stolen moments between tasks at work.
