I am feeling stunned and overwhelmed today by having been nominated for several honors recently — a Best of the Net nomination from Synchronized Chaos (US journal, editor Cristina Deptula), a Pushcart nomination from The Lake (UK journal, editor John Murphy), and a Pushcart nomination from Expound (Nigerian journal, editors Wale Owoade, Saddiq M Dzukogi et al). Thank you, all of you who stop my and read and comment, for all of your encouragement. Truly grateful.
Congratulations, Laura! I love when good things happen for good people.
And I do mean truly *good* — beyond the skill of your poetic craft, the work that you do to both create and participate in poetic communities moves me deeply.
