My poem “A Motley of Unicorns” has been accepted by Star*Line. Looking back through my records, I think this is my 59th poem to be accepted by Star*Line!!!

I’m very happy to report that my poem “Mended” is in the November/December 2020 issue of F&SF 🙂

My poem “After Zhuangzi” is included in the new issue of Eye to the Telescope. The theme of the issue is Cat People, edited by John Philip Johnson.

My poem How to Commemorate the Big Bang has just been published in Uppagus, my twenty-ninth poem to appear there (!)

In unexpected good news, I had three poems accepted by Penumbric. It’s a rare but happy day when a magazine accepts two poems of mine at once, and a very rare day when they accept more than two at a time. 🙂 🙂

My poem “The Seven Deadly Sins: A Cat’s Perspective” is in the new issue of Typehouse. The whole issue may be found online.

I am very happy to report that my book Elemental Haiku has won second place in the full-length book category of the 2020 Elgin Awards 🙂 🙂

My poem “After Zhuangzi” has just been accepted for the forthcoming Cat People issue of Eye to the Telescope, edited by John Philip Johnson. It will be my twelfth poem to appear there 🙂

Soon I will be participating in C’monfluence, a virtual version of Pittsburgh’s Confluence convention, guest of honor Martha Wells. I’ll be giving a reading, plus I’m scheduled to be on four panels, and I’m doing a Kaffeeklatsch with Kelly Robson. The convention is free, though donations are welcomed.

Important note: you have to register for every panel, every reading, every Kaffeeklatsch that you wish to attend.

I received my contributor copies of the Sep/Oct 2020 issue of Asimov’s containing my poem “Cavall.” It’s a dog poem, and I am a cat person, but I’m fond of it nonetheless, and I am very happy it found such a good home.
