Happy Epiphany! I hope you have one.
Yesterday I graduated from making my own errors to have but a small part of giant errors made mostly by other people. I also now get to inform my bosses of their part in these errors, as well as the existence of the errors. Oh joy! "Remember that thing you did (or didn't do) like a month ago? Well, that just totally f*cked everything up."
I think I should wear a grim reaper costume at work.
As my tarot says (via Ivy: past, present, future.
I'm going to be sticking close to home this weekend. Proofreading my first tiny press project (an extremely itty run of a hand-bound hardback of an old, out-of-copyright translation of Procopius of Caesarea's "Secret History" -- I want to test my bookbinding mojo), poking through Eastern Market, looking at used bookstores, and playing more with my website designs, both for this site and the tiny press site Fun.
Good discussion on POD options for poets in the comments fields at this post. I'm looking forward to seeing the book!
I suppose I should begin the new year with a bang and begin sending out the poems. Lord knows I have enough of em -- I'm up to 53 orange poems alone, and I have a mess of "Spectacle of Meat" and "What Would You Do With a Drunken Sailor?" poems as well. Future projects include "Clinical Vignettes," a series of medical mystery poems (it's like a primetime TLC lineup, but in verse!) and "Versos Mordidos," a project in writing only in Spanish. I've got some ideas for places to send, but if you were me, where would you go? (Seriously . . . I'm not terribly aware of the magazine and journal universe out there, and am often unaware of things that might be a good fit).
