I’m delighted to have a poem included in this stunning 180-page anthology published by one of the earliest online magazines. It is available for purchase here at CreateSpace and also at Amazon. If you order it through CreateSpace, Eclectica will receive a larger share of the royalties. And while you’re there, check out their Speculative, Nonfiction and Fiction anniversary editions as well. Only $12!
My included poem, “Memorial Day,” was written in 2001 or 2002, but languished in a folder for more than a dozen years before I sent it to Eclectica, where it subsequently appeared in the July/August 2014 issue. You never know what’ll happen to/with your poems, but I certainly never expected this. What an honor!
Coolio!

The writing, the act of writing, is all important to me, and getting pieces accepted for publication always carries a certain amount of joy. But recognition like this feel particularly good, like maybe I’m doing something right.

I have a feeling that Jen Finstrom, editor of this volume, agonized over her choices. A difficult job, but she assembled quite the collection.
