announcement

‘The Third Symphony’ to appear in this year’s edition of Spindrift

2019/04/18 — 3 Comments

That’s basically the news. I was notified this afternoon.

Spindrift is the art and literary journal of Shoreline Community College, where I studied graphic design a little over ten years ago. (I also worked on the 2008 issue.) A new issue is published annually, usually around late May or early June.

You can read the original version of the poem here: https://ordinaryaveragethoughts.com/2018/04/28/the-third-symphony-a-poem/.

Sadly, they do not have any of their issues posted online, but you can learn a little more here: https://www.shoreline.edu/spindrift/about.aspx.

The submission period for this, their final issue, runs through April 30th; the publication date is July 1st. Details here.

I am still waiting with bated breath (O! the anticipation!) for the poem I submitted to the CDC Poetry Project to be posted.

In the meantime, The Seattle Star has published my Jean Cocteau poem: http://www.seattlestar.net/2018/01/the-poems-of-jean-cocteau-will-keep-you-awake-at-night/…

I had to make a couple of minor adjustments first, and wait for the files to go through the review process again, but I have finally ordered proof copies of the next book.

Stay tuned…
