summer is winding down but 2011 isn’t over yet.
i just finished linh dinh’s love like hate. sadly, it’s the first book that i’ve had time to finish all summer, but it was so worth it.
next up: selenidad (!)
as for my own work, i’ve got some new poems in mythium and generations. two lovely journals.
…no other news on the publishing front, but i feel a query blitz coming soon.
til next time.
ps. one more thing – if you have a few minutes, please go to http://www.refresheverything.com/freetutoring4kids and help my mom win $25k to start a free tutoring center for kids with learning differences. every vote counts :)

talking to my gran last night nearly broke my heart. being old takes a different kind of bravery.

so much to say, but i will keep it short:
the days are sunny and everything is wonderful
i’m reading just kids (finally)
making lots of lists
and growing, as usual
free time is a recent miracle that i am learning
to enjoy over & over
something that i can get used to
a brief poetry hiatus, but not even
lots of looking forward, especially in summer
til later, xo
