The rare, elusive sale post.

[leahbobet]

Home from work this evening to find out that Goblin Fruit will be taking some poems: "For Pomegranates", which I read at this year's Rhysling Poetry Slam at Readercon,* and "Little Songs", which some of you may remember as the formal Petrarchan sonnet about music and poetics and boyfriends with bonus! dirty Greek pun. They'll be appearing in the autumn and winter issues, respectively.

I owe a few tips of the hat on these. They were the first poems I'd actually written in about two years, since I took the Modernist Poetry course that taught me how little I actually knew about poetry, and I ran them by a lot of people. I commend to you chibibluebird, ericmarin, hawkwing_lb, matociquala, rushthatspeaks, sovay, stillnotbored and txanne as poetry critiquers of excellence.

*The streak of selling every unsold poem I read in public continues.
