Two bits of good news. Firstly, my poem “On Reading ‘The Journey to the West'” is included in Volume 43 of the Oakland Review, and I will be reading the poem at the launch party for the issue this afternoon. Secondly, my poem “How to Repair Starships” has been accepted by Star*Line 🙂

Songs of Eretz Poetry Review accepted my poem “Rules for Vacuuming” 🙂

Two pieces of good news: Grievous Angel accepted my poem “How to Destroy A Dragon,” and my poem Yard Work is online in Songs of Eretz Poetry Review 🙂

My poem “Time Cats” is in the new, time-themed issue of Eye to the Telescope, edited by Holly Lyn Walrath 🙂

My poems “Renunciation” and “Gone” have been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. I think this brings me up to 56 poems accepted there! (I am one of their group of designated Frequent Contributors.)

Today I received $150 payment for my poem “Red Rising,” due to appear in the July/August 2018 issue of Fantasy & Science Fiction. F&SF remains my favorite place to submit my work: I like the magazine, its editor, that editor’s (usually) fast response times, and the generous payments for poetry.

My short-short Fantasy Nights appeared today in Daily Science Fiction, my second story to appear there this year 🙂 Caution: by my tame standards, this is a comparatively adult-themed piece…. On the poetry front, my poem “The Holy Firmament of Venus” is in the new issue of Star*Line, my 31st poem to appear there!

My poem Irene is in the new issue of Uppagus. It’s a non-science-fiction, non-fantasy poem about Andrew’s grandmother. Also, and happily, my poem “Time Cats” has been accepted for the forthcoming Time issue of Eye to the Telescope, edited by Holly Lyn Walrath 🙂

I’ve had a fifth poem accepted by Fantasy & Science Fiction, which will form the poetry part of a Mars mini-feature in the July/August 2018 issue 🙂

My poem “Grasslands” has been accepted by Songs of Eretz Poetry Review. It’s a poem about visiting the National Aviary with my daughter, which, coincidentally, we did just a couple of days ago. When she was smaller, we used to go there often. Now it’s a rare, but sweet, event.
