[link]What's Next?I'm compiling an article for
the roundtable review on people's NaPo experiences. What do you get out of it? Do you think it prompts you to produce pieces you'd otherwise never get round to? Does it make you feel good about being productive, or negative about the quality of the work that comes out, or a combination of both?
I'm also going to be judging Aditi's
Mini Chapbook contest and making the two winners into e-chapbooks, to be published in rtr half way through the month.
What? You think I'm slacking? OK. I'm also trying to compile a much more comprehensive and useful links page for
Fuselit's site, building up the content for
Bandijcat's site (especially with regards to the lucky dip) and organising the Fuselit: Fox London launch event that's set for June.
Plus, as usual: finishing my first collection, sending off the odd submission, earning money, that sort of thing.

Just something completely random. :->

The Rialto and Ambit are really slow. And I just don't like Ambit a great deal, despite having great design values. The Rialto takes anywhere from 8 months to a year...or more, or a bit less. Poetry Review is generally very swift, so worth a try, probably. Poetry London have mid-range sort of speed afaik, but I can't really get my head around what they fancy publishing. Probably little witty poems, mostly, and anyone published by Cape...

I'm wondering if it's worth continuing to try to find homes for poems that are due to be in ISYT eventually. At last count, 14 of them have been published somewhere or other, but I haven't had any success with the very best known magazines and the pieces I've had in The Wolf, McSweeney's and Nth Position aren't ISYT ones. It'd be nice to get a Rialto/Ambit/Poetry Review credit, but I've never had any success with them in the past.

I've had a Stone/Irving-filled morning, what with the new Sphinx arriving and the new Pomegranate coming out. Nice job on both fronts -- good to see Hydromancy/er find a home. I was chuffed to see nearly half of the Pomegranate poets in this issue are Mimesis-published.

Wow! You really are a brilliant poet, aren't you?
Why don't you join the poetry contest from [link] ?
It's free and every nitwit such as myself who enters gets a small gift
but someone like you might win one of their $10 000 or $100 000 prizes.
My second try at a fixed form. I'd really appreciate your comments, if you don't mind. Thanks.

This generic notice has been submitted to your personal community message board on account of your having exhibited an enviable flare for artistic delivery through use of your gallery space, in conjunction with a presumed affinity (to a certain degree) with the enduring Transformers franchise.
So why the impromptu dissertation, you might well ask?
Please rest assured that one needn't feel compelled to digest the entirety of my long-winded review (I do admittedly comport a tendency to WAFFLE...!).
Hope to hear from you soon!
You don't have to read lots of Milton, Frost and Yeats. Blech. Lots of modern, accessible poets still write in meter. I'd thoroughly recommend picking up a selected poems of Tony Harrison and reading his sonnet sequences, because they don't read at all like stereotypical sonnets. They're packed with chunks of colloquial speech, witty expressions, raw, unpoeticised feeling, clearly expressed points of view, nuggets of knowledge - all the stuff that poetry is supposed to avoid if it wants to remain aloof.

Anyway, here's a trial of mine with meter. I hope you get the time to coment on it. [link]
All of the IDW comics? Wow. I'm not big on comics. As a kid I read my dad's old Superman collection (memorable comics include the Death and Return of Superman and the ol' switcheroo with Batman). I have, however, under strong suggestions gotten Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. Which was AMAZING!
Anyway, I plan on getting the War Within series if I get a chance. Is it any good?
Though I would agree with you that the character developement was poor, mainly due to lack of dialogue (and the Decepticons had practically none!), the film isn't that bad. I found the action quite nice, or maybe it was because of the fantastic CG.
