Just had two poems accepted by Bottom of the World!

An actual paper and staple magazine. So excited.

If you’re looking for a great magazine to subscribe to (or perhaps just buy one sample issue, maybe the one with my poetry in it) check them out.

Also, just published the third issue of nibble, a poetry magazine that I edit (also paper and staple). Check us out: http://nibblepoems.wordpress.com

Thanks for reading, supporting and caring!

    writing tip

    Stay grounded in detail. When you write, allow as much detail as possible into your poem. You can always cut back later. Try to build a poem in which the details do all the work.
