Wonderful news! Pudding House just accepted my chapbook manuscript Ghost Girl. Yippee! I’m so excited. Pudding House is such a well know and respected press. I couldn’t be more happy. They’ve published some amazing authors in their Greatest Hits series like Annie Finch, Carole Simmons Oles, and Peggy Shumaker, to name a few. Melissa Tuckey is among their authors, a poet I was able to meet at Split This Rock in 2008. There’s also Jeannine Hall Gailey, JP Dancing Bear, and Ben Vogt, over in the deep middle.

And, poemeleon accepted 3 of my poems from another series I’ve been working on which is forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press later this year, My Imaginary. Poemeleon has some great poems up, check out Dorianna Laux’s “Olympia” for example.

All this sure made for a good weekend.
