An Abundance of Support

An abundance of writing community support for Mendeleev's Mandala today!

First, Mendeleev's Mandala was reviewed at Magadalena Ball's The Compulsive Reader  by poet Elvis Alves: "Goodfellow’s work reminds us of Camus’ encouragement to picture Sisyphus smiling as he carried out his punishment." Check out the entire review for Alves's thoughtful connecting of the dots between the poems.

Next, Diane Lockward of Blogalicious has featured Mendeleev's Mandala in her celebratory series for National Poetry Month! This dynamic series has already included women poets such as Jehanne Dubrow and L.L. Barkat. Kudos to Diane for all her service to the poetry community!

And thanks to those who reported back about seeing the Motionpoem based on "Crows, Reckoning" at the VIDA Awards.

So much support so gratefully received.

VIVA VIDA!

If you are going to AWP this year, please check out the VIDA Awards,  9 April at 19:30 in EDT Skyway Theater, 711 Hennepin Avenue, Minneapolis, MN.

Awards presented include:
• Cheryl Strayed WINNER of the 2015 VIDA Vanguard Award!
• VIDA's Kickass Press Award
• The VIDO Award
• Fiction Awards
• Poetry Awards
• Non-fiction Awards

And there will be dancing!

But also, there will be a sneak preview of the 2015 Motionpoems Season, including movies featuring poems by Stacy Lynn Browne, Jehanne Dubrow, Rebecca Morgan Frank, Catherine Pierce, Megan O'Rourke, Kim Addonizio, and me, among others.

I can't go to AWP or to the Motionpoems Premiere in May, so I'm hoping some of you will go see my poem in film on the big screen and let me know how it went!
