Sleepy brain trying to remember...offhand I remember that the first one to appear (though not the first one written) was published last summer in Lone Star Stories...one is forthcoming in the next issue of Mythic Delirium...one in the next issue of Illumen...and Marge Simon told me if I hadn't sold another one in particular by Sept. then to send it back her way then and she'd put it in Star*Line.

It occurs to me that "experiment" poem makes it sound fancier than it is. It's really about teaching myself poetic discipline: I've always written prose in a disciplined mostly-daily way but saved poetry for bursts of inspiration. Save this past week, when I've been dealing with a big hole in my ceiling, I'd picked a couple of times a week when I would sit down and start writing poetry (for various reasons, but mostly trying to improve my poetic language so it wouldn't sound so prose-esque) regardless of whether or not I had anything in mind when I started.
