I’ll also likely read from My Imaginary, like “In the New House.”

Jen Kindbom, editor of  The Floorboard Review, has just added a new feature to her new literary magazine: interviews. I was delighted when she asked me to be one of the first poets and artists she featured in “The Ground Floor.”

Stillwell. Given the date, I will be reading love and anti-love poems from my new chapbook Ghost Girl (Pudding House, 2010), poems from my dissertation on Matilda Fletcher, and maybe some other new work or poems from my forthcoming chapbook Branding Girls (Finishing Line Press, 2011).

Here’s a sneak peek: In my chapbook Ghost Girl the poem “Ghost Girl Wonders if she’s Always had Bad Eyes” is a new love poem and a break-up poem that meditates on vision, how traveling becomes an inspiration to re-see the world around us. In the poem Ghost Girl flies to Florida to walk the white sands, tours a city garden of roses, and visits an art museum with an exhibit on artistic responds to Hurricane Katrina.

  • One of my advisers, Joy Castro, wrote about my capstone oral for my comprehensive exams, which took place at the end of October.
  • I’m officially ABD! Or, as Joy called it in her post, All but done. Yippee!!
  • As part of my residency this past summer is: My poem “Maternal Lineage” is up on the National Park Service’s Herbert Hoover Historic Site website (a residency which was mentioned in USA Today. Wow). There’s an audio file of it too:

  • Split This Rock accepted the panel proposal I and two other fantastic poets submitted. We’re doing a panel on writing the activist body. It’s going to be super fun!
  • My wonderful adviser Carole Levin has motivated me to look into fellowships. Thanks Carole!
  • The amazing editors at Pudding House and Dancing Girl Press are publishing my chapbooks Ghost Girl and My Imaginary, respectfully.
  • A short story I wrote has been accepted for the Fall 2009 Relief Anthology, edited by J. K. Richard. Yeah!

Sometimes when you do research you find stuff that is cool. And sometimes, you find stuff that is really cool. The band The Lonesome Sisters put out a self-titled album in 2006, which includes the song “over the sea” They note:

Chorus Lyrics written by Mrs. L. Matilda Fletcher, found in an 1871 hymnal.

Too cool or what? And the song itself, is lovely.  over the sea
