Work!

Pleased to report that Tupelo Press will finally be publishing Nutritional Feed in 2007. It was accepted for publication back in 2004. A long road it's been.

Working currently on polishing up a portfolio/feature of Taiwanese poets for Chicago Postmodern Poetry. It will include poems, vispo, and sound pieces from Chen Li, Hung Hung, Melusine Lin and interviews with micropublisher Shiah Shiah and translator Steve Bradbury and possibly an anthology of Taiwan poetry. I think we're looking at a May launch date which is Asian heritage month here in the States.

Haiku Not Bombs is almost ready to send out and the manuscript is smashing.

I am again among the gainfully unemployed. It has its ups and downs, but right now, grateful to have some extra time to transition back to life in TX and wrap up some very important projects and to lay the groundwork for new ones.

Returned to TX just in time to miss AWP. I hope our friends at La Alameda Press sold lots of books!

Four poems from NUTRITIONAL FEED accepted for HOW2 edited by special guest editor Susan Schultz of Tinfish Press. Launch date TBD.
