Final call! Survey closes this Saturday

Update on this: I got a response yesterday, and it was a rejection. I’m pretty sure it was a tiered rejection, though, which always helps. Nevertheless it’s another row of red on my submissions table.

I had the idea to write (& post) some short poems every so often which are inspired by the title of a poetry magazine or press. They probably won’t be my best work, but if I enjoy it I’ll keep going. It’s a show of my appreciation for people who choose to dedicate their time to publishing poems.

Increasingly tempted every day that passes to apply for funding and start producing sick as hell poetry anthologies. If anyone knows a publisher who is seeking someone to run an anthology project please let them know I am dying to pitch. 🤭

THIS STATUS IS JOY I have confused the letters that were in the poem and which you were busily scribbling for a book Forgive me they were a pale view so sad and so exact #anagram

I am waiting to hear back on a poetry journal submission. I should have expected a response by now. I always give some extra leeway before chasing up. I think “they must be seriously considering my work” However, I do keep obsessively checking emails. This happens every few months.

Well, now I've settled into bluesky a little, put up my feet, made a cup of tea, and fallen asleep by the fire I suppose I should tell them as don't know about my survey for my PhD: forms.office.com/e/URQkTcNFZ8 Any and all responses welcome, and all you need to do is read poems. Easy.

It has come to my attention that my surname is the German for “word”. Splendid. I love nominative determinism.
