The Big Reveal
Here's my big confession (and it's not even Tuesday): I am one of 12 poets featured in Poets & Writers' Jan/Feb Inspiration issue!! Look for the article titled "First Things First: Our Fifth Annual Debut Poets Roundup." My thanks to Kevin Larimer for including me in this issue--it is quite an honor.
Here's the list:
William Archila
Kate Durbin
Robin Ekiss
Santee Frazier
Ish Klein
Justin Marks
Kristin Naca
January Gill O'Neil
Kiki Petrosino
Ed Skoog
Lytton Smith
Orlando White
Cover design by Chip Kidd.

Had the launch party last night. Pictures, commentary, and video to come this weekend. It surpassed my wildest dreams.

This morning, I ate crab cakes, chicken wings, and mac & cheese for breakfast. Yum!

I know some of you have not received Underlife book orders from Amazon, or are finding lengthy delays when ordering through book stores. Apparently, there is lag time between the distribution company (UPNE) and book sellers (Amazon, B&N, local bookstores). You can order directly through UPNE, but I'm guessing pre-orders will be filled in the next two to three weeks.

And I am a huge fan of Chip Kidd, so awesome that he did the cover of your issue (and yes, from this point on we can refer to it as "your issue")!
Congrats, January!
You are an inspiration!
:)
Kelli, Oh yeah!
i love P & W so can't wait to see this! Congrats again.
Wishing you great poetry in 2010!
