A Friday or two ago, I received a mysterious package in the mail from Soft Skull Press. I opened said package in Takoma Park while being honked at by a jerk in a white van at a red light. Shanna Compton had sent me a copy of Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts. […]
Submitting your work to a fellowship application is not unlike a book contest or magazine submission, yet I’m surprised at how many people don’t create a great impression. Here are some tips for creating an excellent award application:

Bishop’s The Armadillo
Dickey’s Sheep Child
Larkin’s High Windows
Heaney’s Oysters

Kinnell’s Little Sleep’s-Head Sprouting Hair in the Moonlight
Stafford’s Traveling through […]
Someone took a poem of mine and did this to it.
If you want to have fun, visit http://www.technorati.com, a search engine for blogs, and see what people are saying about you. I found a bunch of my poems in people’s blogs, and the people are writing in Brazilian, German, and Polish so I delightfully […]
