November

I have two poems from the new manuscript up at Anti- if you're interested.

Thanks to Steve and the editors.

I can't believe there's essentially a month and change left of the first semester.

Probably heading to Philly next weekend with Jess to visit one of her friends. I've only been to the airport there, so it'll be a good chance to explore. Minus the fact that I don't like the Eagles, I hear it's a cool city, so I'm going to try to amass of list of places I need to check out.

Received the second blurb for Ghost Lights last week. It feels like everything's coming to fruition.

I hope to have the rest by Thanksgiving. Hopefully the galleys should be in my possession soon.

Huge game for The Giants today, especially after the two previous losses.

Winner is either tied for first place or owns it by themselves. Just depends on the outcome and team.

Over

Thanks to Steve at Anti- for accepting two new poems. Tentatively the count of published poems for the new book is at 21 with these, so it's nice to know editors are liking the work. Now I just have to work on actually getting a full draft of it together, which will probably be tough in the next few months. Once school starts I'll get back into the swing of things.

I'm at home for another week or so, unwinding before wedding and moving to New York comes to the point where it can't be avoided anymore.

Sometime next week I'll be getting back to the First Book Interviews, as far as sending them out to poets (whose books I've had for way too long...) and I hope you'll accept my apologies for the delay and the formerly dormant weeks.
