What Work Is, Part 12
Well, I was a finalist for the 49th Parallel Award at the Bellingham Review, but didn't win. The good news is that they want to publish my poem, "Orpheus, Gathering the Trees."
I am very happy to have my work at TBR. I love the journal (it's a beautiful, wonderfully edited magazine) and they have been kind to my poems through the years. This is the first poem from my manuscript-in-progress to be accepted for publication.
In other news, I am getting ready to go to my son's school tomorrow as part of their "Arts Week" program. I'll be talking to kids from kindergarten through the eighth grade, so I will have my hands full.
Wish me luck!
Marcia is feeling a bit better.

As Liam (my 3 year-old) says, " 'Sanks!"
Congrats on the TBR pub & best of luck with the K to Grade 8 kids. They're a tough audience.
Congratulations! That's a gorgeous journal. And much, much luck to you tomorrow. Better you than me. ;-)
I'd like to know how it goes at school. I'm planning on teaching high school English and would love to know how to incorporate a real author or poet into a lesson.
