There's been a lot of lovely acceptances in my world lately - I'm just quiet about them. Here's some poems of mine forthcoming in Winter/Spring 2011:
~ long poem (5 pages!!) called River-heart, Radio in OH NO Magazine
~ in Lo-Ball Magazine, my poem For Derek, Missing for 8 Months
~ in The Normal School, look for two poems - The Closest I Come To Prayer These Days and The Night Life.
Also, not sure when this will air but, while visiting Pittsburgh, I'll be taping an episode of Prosody down at 91.3 WYEP, with guest host Renee Alberts, a woman who I think is fast becoming one of Pittsburgh's poetry saints, who, among so much else, curates a free poetry reading at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, each Sunday afternoon.
Speaking of Pittsburgh and kind stars, a holler of congratulations to dear mentor Terrance Hayes, who tonight won the 2010 National Book Award for Poetry . Not just a mentor but a gracious, funny, generous guy and a good dad to boot. Hell yes, Terrance! Well-deserved, to put it mildly.

Big congratulations all around.
Do you know if the episode of Prosody will be put online? It's the damnedest thing, but I can get Dutch radio here in West Virginia, but Pittsburgh stations almost never work.
Thanks, Randall, & yes, Prosody will be online - I believe they have a downloadable podcast. I'll definitely put up a link here when I know.
NEW POEMS YES! I will admit that I am unhealthily obsessed with your poems and, indirectly, you.
