Poem Picked Up: Dos Passos Review
One of my favorite of my own poems, “South China Sea” has been picked up. Finally. After dozens of submissions. I received word last week from the Dos Passos Review out of Longwood, Virginia that they were accepting it for June of 2010 and may also consider it for their website. This is exciting and good news (a journal named for John Dos Passos is very much an honor) although there is always some sense of trepidation when a favorite is picked up for publication. It’s sad in a way where I can understand the feeling of depression after a mother births her child. The feeling of closeness will never quite be the same.
Images of the South China Sea as Intimacy
It’s out and in the world now. These words will no longer be able to feel the challenge and changes from my pen.
