Happy news from Star*Line: they accepted my poem “New Year’s Resolutions,” plus I have five poems in the summer issue, #41.3, forthcoming any day now 🙂

My poem Rosalind has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, once again accompanied by a very nice illustration by J. Artemus Gordon.

At the end of July, I’ll be at Confluence, the annual Pittsburgh SF/F/H conference, a lovely, friendly, reader-oriented gathering. This year’s Guest of Honor is Catherynne M. Valente. If you’re able to come, please find me and say hello…. Here’s my schedule.

Also, today I had a poem accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂

My poem “Between Battles” has been accepted by Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, my sixth poem from The Sign of the Dragon to find a home there 🙂

My poem Advice from an Elephant has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review, accompanied by a very nice illustration of an elephant, painted by J. Artemus Gordon.

I am very, very happy to report that my poem Advice to a Six-Year-Old, first published in Star*Line, has won the 2018 Rhysling Award in the short poem category, and that my poem Alternate Genders, first published in Mithila Review, came third in the long poem category 🙂 🙂 🙂

My humorous poem Rules for Vacuuming has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂

Triply-good news: Sheree Renée Thomas has accepted three of my poems for the Zodiac-themed issue of Apex Magazine that she is guest-editing 🙂

Two things to celebrate! I have a short-short story, “Extracts from the Captain’s Notes,” in the July/August 2018 issue of Analog, my third piece in Analog this year 🙂 And I have a poem, “Red Rising,” in the July/August 2018 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction, my third poem in F&SF this year 🙂

My poem “Not for Sale” has been accepted by Asimov’s Science Fiction, my second sale to them 🙂 🙂 And in a second piece of happy news, my poem Gone has been published at Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂
