My poems “Fossil Egg” and “Cyclops” are live at Recenter Press, a publisher “dedicated to sharing work that is grounded in both the spiritual and the material.” Many thanks to the editors for taking these pieces.
O at the Edges
Musings on poetry, language, perception, numbers, food, and anything else that slips through the cracks.
I have a theory that your work is either currently or will be publishing in every journal in print and/or on the Internet. How many journals and magazines have you published in? dear Lord, it must be a full time job updating your résumé! I still say that the Norton Anthology(s) are missing out every time they are published.
A VERY big Congratulations on yet another publication of your work. May Amaterasu O-mikami disseminate your poems across the High Celestial Plain where those who perfect and pacify this world may be delighted by your words…

Thanks, Daniel! There seem to be plenty of journals unwilling to publish my work, but I keep sending it out. The number isn’t that great – maybe 150 – 160 journals.

So you have only published in approx. 150 – 160 journals? Underachiever… LOL! That’s like an actor saying they have only won 42 Oscars…

You’ve given us two more intrigues … !
“My goats / shun me. … I think of blood, of bone fragments. / The pleasures of rendering. ”
Anyone’s guess how these connect … I’m leaning toward frustration with fence work under those deceitful clouds. Hoping the process of rendering yourself “Indianan” proves pleasurable.
BTW, what became of your rural property (goats) when you took off to Indiana?

I was thinking of a modern version of Homer’s Cyclops. 🙂
Unfortunately I couldn’t pack up the property and bring it with me. It’ll be up for sale soon, I hope.

Exactly what I was thinking! I already singled out one poem, have others that might work, just have to wait 3 months to submit 😊 How do you find all these new journals?
