Well I have written one poem so far this weekend. This evening will be the poetry-writing-fest here at the Page house. Friday night was supposed to be, but we had many of our friends stop by unannounced. WARNING to all writers!…
The one thing about grad school…it teaches you how to be a work-a-holic. I coming out of writing 5 or more poems a month, and reading 5-7 books a month.
Since I have finished school I have sent nearly every poem in my manuscript out for consideration, 1 chapbook contest, and 2 queries for full book publication.…

I have been remiss in my postings, but the time has been used wisely. Over the past month I have finished my next-to-the-last semester of graduate school, put together my CV and my teaching philosophy…oh and I found out that November 3rd Club is going to publish my poem, “Branches”. I am still waiting to hear when it will come out, but I will keep you posted. All in all the year has shaped up to be pretty sweet.…
