Immediately after agreeing to their terms, I received an email saying that this poem was accepted by yet another journal who had been holding onto it for nearly a year. I had withdrawn the poem from them but they had missed that note. However, they had accepted two poems, the other still available, and then asked me to send more as they wanted a pair, so I sent them the only four poems I have available right now (that's a low stockpile for me). They selected another poem from the batch. So, a win all around (except now I'm down to only three poems available--writing not going well for, oh, about a year now). </p>Jessica Goodfellowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07561656986278259434noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204727386532339291.post-4070162741621974192023-03-21T15:29:00.000+09:002023-03-21T15:29:32.506+09:00Two New Poems at The Shore<p> I'm delighted to have two new poems at <i><a href="https://www.theshorepoetry.org/issue-17" target="_blank">The Shore</a></i>.

Look at that luminary lineup of poets! Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to a cause dear to me, the National Park Service Foundation. Here's a little information:<br /><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;">Just in time for
Earth Day and Arbor Day, Grayson Books has published<i> Tree Lines: 21<sup>st</sup>
Century American Poems, </i>an anthology that includes work from 130 contemporary
poets, including U.S. Poet Laureates, Pulitzer Prize winners, and other
outstanding writers. The poems launch conversations about our tender, fierce,
and awed relationship to trees in cities and forests, in orchards and open
fields. This important new collection reflects contemporary American poets’
heightened awareness of place, close observation of nature, and concern for the
earth’s changing climate. A portion of the book’s proceeds will be donated to
the National Park Service Foundation.</p>
