So much, so much…and grateful for it all. If you knew the whole list of “muches” right now, you might be questioning my sanity using the word “grateful.” But I am! I’ve learned over this long life that even when difficulties plunk on your path, they will ultimately deliver openings or light or meaningfulness, growth, love.
But here’s something I want to put out there as a YOOHOO. I was asked to judge the current Ekphrastic Review challenge. I was also asked to submit the artwork for the challenge. The work is a mixed media piece, Time-Molt Tender. It’s a fabulous international publication based in Canada and I’m so delighted to have had work published there as well as to have been asked for this.
The deadline for submission is 10/14. I get to read the handful or hundreds or whatevers that come in and then select what rises to the top. Do feel free to send something in, spread the word. Here’s the LINK to the call for submissions, my chattering a bit about it, the bio, and some generous words from the editor/publisher. This is all very exciting to me!
I’ve just come off of a great reading run at the Common Ground Country Fair and am looking forward to reading with Stu Kestenbaum, former Maine poet laureate, at the Maine Lit Fest in Waterville tomorrow.
In other news, my reading at Millinocket Memorial Library has been rescheduled to 11/15 @ 6 p.m., so some of you up-northers have a shot at it. Well, it wasn’t rescheduled for that. The library needed to. But the being in Millinocket is so you might. I know what it’s like to have to drive huge distances or miss out on something that’s always scheduled further south. Honestly, last weekend a carload of people drove from Patten/Mt. Chase to hear me at Common Ground. I almost cried!
