Spring Submissions

[doctortina]

Well, it's time for the spring push of submissions.  This week, I sent poems to:

Pleiades
Poetry
The Missouri Review
Ploughshares
Ninth Letter 
Jubilat

I also tried to submit to Swink Online, but their website just went down--hopefully not permenantly.

I got my annual rejection from CALYX a couple of weeks ago.  Report time: 4 months, which is about

Kick me again.

I really haven't been on the ball at all so far this year.

Well, considering all you've been doing this year, it's understandable. Should I kick you again around tax time?

Yes, please!

Ow, my butt!

(I've only submitted 1 poem so far this year, and that one was solicited for this awesome project. Still have a couple outstanding from late 2007, but I need to get cracking.)

Oh, and good luck with yours!! I love Pleiades especially.

Hey, you should consider sending to Barn Owl Review when they open up submissions for their second issue -- I'm reading the first one now and there is some terrific poetry in it. I might be biased, but I didn't really expect to like it as much as I do even considering how much of it is people I know!

Go, Susan!

All of my submission energy has been going into radio stories (response in days, not months! Actually pays the bills!) and the Shakespeare book (epic effort but I've gotten this far ...), but I'd really like to send out a few poems.

Karyna talks about a whole strategy for phrasing and type font and sprinkling magic dust on her five thousand submissions per year. Thinking about all that effort sort of intimidates me.

I submitted my poetry thesis to a contest today, and plan to ship it off to two others this weekend. I'm *terrible* about submitting - don't know why. You're an inspiration!
