Collin Kelley has a nice interview with Justin Evans discussing his new book, Town of the Trees.

What do you think of contemporary poetry? Sketch by Nin Andrews.

Also, today at work I’m escorting a celebrity around campus. Details and a photo to come. In a separate project, I’m on part of a team organizing a flash mob. Weird.

Today is a weird day. I’m commemorating it by finishing up my manuscript revisions. Also, there's a poem I’ve been trying to write for years. It’s one of those poems people will ask me how long it took to write, and I can honestly say it's taken 10 years. Will post soon.

I give myself a hard time for not submitting poems for publication on a regular basis, but I have 14 poems coming out, 10 in a journal and four in an e-anthology. Not too shabby for Ms. Lazy Bones.

Truth is, I don’t give myself enough credit for the things I have accomplished, no more important than being a single mom to two wonderful kids. I have a rich, full life filled with friends and family, poetry, and joy.
So today, I celebrate myself.
