IWW Members Published and in Print

Polluto just accepted my essay entitled Ciao Baby. And Literary Traveler recently accepted an essay about Mark Rothko and Latvia.

Although I don't participate in the [IWW] discussions much, I read the responses and draw inspiration (don't give up) from them.
Thanks for all the indirect encouragement.

In the past month, I've had several haiku and haiga published on-line. Both the November and December World Haiku Association's haiga contests include my work:

One of my haiku in the Shiki Monthly Kukai Contest managed to make it to third place in the kigo section, and four of my haiga are up on Sketchbook

Thanks for letting me share my news. :-)

Some good news: I had a poem in The Rose & Thorn, Fall, 2007, "Killers" -- an oldie critiqued here years ago. Then, amazingly, the editor asked for another poem for this issue (Winter) and he took "Feet" -- a poem Poetry-W members helped me finish a few months ago! That was exciting in itself, but the best thing is appearing in the same issue where Louisa Howerow has a non-fiction piece: "You Tell Me Your Name, I'll Tell You Mine" --an evocative piece you must read!

Interestingly, a Moroccan editor read my poems in R&T and asked to publish some of my work in their premier issue (in English) of Aladabia (Tanjah Aladabia). Mohamed Ahaouari is a lovely man who really cares about multi-cultural literature in all forms. I hope you decide to give them a try. And now is the perfect time as it'sjust getting on its feet. There has been an Arabic and French version for a few years, I think. He took "Seedless Grapes" and "Cauldron" (some punctuation astray but oh well) --both poems critiqued here many years ago as well.

They publish poetry, fiction, non-fiction (including art, movie, book reviews) and interviews. Here's a blurb if you're interested:

"Tanjah Aladabia cordially welcomes literary and artistic submissions, attached as word-file documents and illustrations, if necessary, preferably with a photo and a bio. Contact editor, Mohamed Ahaouari, at editor@aladabia.net."

I don't know which address works best. Use the short one to access all versions. Some of you with foreign language skills will appreciate their past contributions. I have no such skills. :)

My acrostic poem "Violin" has been published by Silver Wings for their February/March '08 issue. I got it in the mail today. I bet, "Piccolo" will be published in the April or May/June '08 issue later this year.

Fullosia Press has accepted and published two of my poems for the February 2008 issue, which is now online, "Shattered to Burst", an experimental poem with senryu and free verse, and "Betrothed", a selected poem from my Medieval poetry series. This is my second submission to them. Back in November 2006, they published "Remission," which was retitled "The Survivor." Instead of having my own page, you have to scroll down. "Betrothed" is in the third column and "Shattered to Burst" is in the fourth column. There's no pay.

Hi all,

My new counterculture magazine Polluto: The Anti-Pop Culture Journal, has been sent to the printers and I've just received the proofs today. It's not quite a Yahoo!, but my story ("Singer") which was critted on IWW is the inspiration for the cover (it was a sample given to all the writers so they knew what kind of stuff we wanted).

It's £8 for a print copy, which also includes a free .pdf version and a limited edition CD with every purchase. It's available direct from

I'm still pinching myself, but wanted to take a minute to announce that my first full length collection of poems, Forms of Intercession (Mayapple Press), is available for pre-order at Amazon.com !! If anyone would like a copy, the book is $15.95 plus shipping. Amazon doesn't have the photo up yet, but one is up at my blog. The book will be released on January 22 and should be on Mayapple's website by then as well. Mayapple has been wonderful to work with through the entire process. They have an open submission period during the late summer/early fall for those of you who are looking for a home for your poetry manuscripts.

And an update---Some of you know that I've had a long wait at Algonquin, after signing with them to publish my first novel Tomato Girl critiqued here on Novels-L. I'm happy to report that my book is back on schedule for a fall 2008 release. The wait has proven to be worthwhile. I've been amazed at the attention my editor and copy editor have given my work. I'm now beginning to work with the publicity team, and am struck again by how much of a team effort it takes to bring a book into being.

Many, many thanks!

Mojocastle Press wants to publish my favourite piece of work - a funny tongue-in-cheek erotic fantasy novel, Circe. A bit of editing required here and there, that's all, and the Chief Editor thinks my chapter -Pasiphae's Perversion- may be too hot for some to handle. It's about how she mothered the Minotaur. So finally it's gonna be in print! It used to be an e-book ages ago. Yahoo!!! And thanks to David Luddington who stayed with me on novels-list throughout the novel.
