New poems up at The Collagist

The second issue of The Collagist, a new online journal from Dzanc Books, is live and we have two poems all up in it: "Aubade with Clock Radio" and "Aubade with Ceramic Deer." It's a good mag, go read the whole thing! There's Jason Bredle's "The Proselytizer" and "Denver Health Medical Center: Nursing Notes" by Sean Lovelace, just FOR EXAMPLE.

A reason to be jubilant, although I'm depressed

We have a poem in the new Jubilat. Yay! We like Jubilat. Lots of poets to love in this issue (Kate Greenstreet, Srikanth Reddy, Alice Notley, Ange Mlinko, oh my).

Also, if you didn't notice (sniff), I'm now solo-blogging over at The French Exit. Don't let the French door hit you in the face on the way out.

Sorry, kind of an interior joke.

New review in Galatea Resurrects

Many thanks to Nate Logan whose very thoughtful review of That Tiny Insane Voluptuousness appears in the latest Galatea Resurrects. Click over to read its full nicety:

Writing poetry is hard. This is not news to anyone who has seriously dedicated themselves to writing it. But writing poetry with another person? Wouldn't that qualify as being one of the hardest things in the world of writing to do? Would there be stylistic clashes? Would schedules work out so such poems could be written? Would the poems be terrible?

Luckily for us, Elisa Gabbert and Kathleen Rooney have overcome all of these potential hazards and have put together a marvelous collection of collaborative poetry...

Winter's last weak hurrah

We've got poems in the new issue of Wheelhouse (alongside fine poets such as Rachel Zolf, Ana Bozicevic and Reb Livingston to name just a few) and in the Mutating the Signature edition of qarrtsiluni. Go exercise your saccades.

Also, if any of our five readers live in California (odds aren't bad?), we are reading in the Community and World Literary Series at Cal State San Marcos on March 19 at 7 pm. Look for us there or on the beach the next day. We'll be catchin' some rays, and possibly hanging 10.

A to the W to the P

We have three new poems (from the Epigraph Project, as I've just decided to grandiosely name it) up at Steve Halle's Seven Corners. Take a looksee.

Also, for those who will be at AWP, look for us at the MAKE off-site reading and dance party, hosted my MAKE Magazine in conjunction with Action Books, ACM and others. We'll be reading there with Arda Collins, Abraham Smith and others on Thursday night at the "legendary" Hideout.

In addition, Kathy will be signing Oneiromance at the Switchback Books table on Friday at 2, and reading at the Red Rover Series "Experiment #26: A Small Press Showcase" at Links Hall on Friday from 8 to 11:30, along with readers from Action Books, Effing Press, Flood Editions, Futurepoem books, Les Figues Press, Slack Buddha Press and Ugly Duckling Presse.

2009, you ain't shit

Happy new year, readers! All averaging-three-a-day of you. Some news & updates: We have three translations (of Max Jacob) up in the January poetry issue of Open Letters Monthly; enjoy and check out the other great stuff there.

Also, big thanks to the nice folks over at Coldfront Mag who, in their Year in Review, nominated That Tiny Insane Voluptuousness for Best Book of New Poetry Published in 2008, Best First Poem in a New Collection, Best Final Poem in a New Collection, and Best Closing Lines. Wowee! Seriously, guys, we're honored just to be nominated.

In the coming months, look for new collaborations in No Tell Motel, jubilat, Fifth Wednesday, Area Sneaks, Westwind Review and elsewherez.
