monday feeling on tuesday

i have two newish poems up at Slow Trains: the lone prairie countdown (which is also at east/west) and Last Poem. Susannah Indigo has been very supportive for the past 4 years (!!) or so - check the back issues for me-j and pj.

i also received a rejection today of/for five of my poems from Malleable Jangle, out of Australia. i was hoping they'd have the noive to pub monster mo-poem (also now at east/west). no go, boho.

first rejection? i was advised by an otherwise sane teacher in high school to send some of my stuff to The New Yorker. little did i know she hadn't a clue re poetry. my first look at a form rejection letter. i subbed out to them again last year, and after months and months and months of waiting received a form e-mail rejection. what the fuck am i thinking?

home sweet web.

fun fact for today: i have fallen arches. okok: FLAT FEET
