That WAS part of the reason I was so apprehensive about this recent and rapid string of successes... after all I've heard about breaking in, the contrary ease of the whole process was frightening. On the other hand, it's…"

My Dilemma: Me, Publishing, & the Whore
I have a thought that has been bothering me for days, and subjects me alternatively to guilt, shame, unease, unhappiness, and discontent.I love being published. But the rapid return in publishing that I have seen in the last six months-- in the last six WEEKS- makes me wonder.Am I just whoring myself out?I get published, yes. And one can argue that any published work is better than no work at all. However, when I get three poems all accepted to the same magazine, is that real publication?…See More

I'm Not that Kind of Girl

So today I got published twice.
One was a poem ("Diaspora") that was accepted by the Mandala Journal, an online student-run multicultural journal for poets, writers, artists, and thinkers published by the Institute for African American Studies at The University of Georgia. My poem will be released in a themed journal 2009-2010 issue, "Cosmopolitanism," will launch in the new online format on April 14, 2010.
Very, very exciting news. "Diaspora" just happens to be the first… Continue

How does one, I wonder, achieve the cultural status of an author? I don't mean just my name listed on the NYT bestsellers list, although that would be an amazing achievement of its own. But how does one gain the reputation of being literary?
I am fascinated by the idea of the french salons, run by elegant ladies and populated with eccentric characters and brilliant thinkers. But these have passed away by several centuries.
I am fascinated by the idea of Bohemia, and the… Continue

I'm currently taking a class in poetry through my college this semester. I really enjoy it so far, and have been exposed to some really fun assignments already (more later). Today I wanted to highlight a new emerging genre that my professor exposed us to.
Six Word Memoirs are blurred genres that combine the distilled language of poetry and flash fiction with biographical elements. The premise to to describe your entire life, in six carefully chosen words.
