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

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.

Still waiting—meanwhile…

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…
