just some useful links (and more crafting!)
Dear, all: Happy June! Hope you’re all doing well. On my end, it’s hurricane season and rain is in the forecast for the next ten days—so, if anyone has been enjoying nice weather lately: I’m jealous!
Now, here are the useful links of which I speak…
“Where should I submit?” you ask. Well, these resources are my holy grails.
Every week, The Mark Literary Review lets readers know which journals are open for submissions that week.
Quarterly, Entropy Mag lets readers know about open-reading periods, fellowship applications, and book contests with deadlines within the next three months.
“Okay, but what should I read?” you ask. I’ve got you.
Gregory Orr’s “The Four Temperaments” is a great resource for thinking about your own poems.
Archive.org is an e-library with thousands of e-books to borrow, either for an hour or for two weeks. Nice.
And some books I read recently and loved:
Embouchure, by Emilia Phillips
Indigo, by Ellen Bass
Some Are Always Hungry, by Jihyun Yun
Time Is the Thing a Body Moves Through, by T Fleishmann
Wound from the Mouth of a Wound, by Torrin A. Greathouse
Two or Three Things I Know For Sure, by Dorothy Allison
And, to conclude, an update on my new creative venture.
I had some time this week, so I made the world’s tiniest books to drop into the Little Free Libraries scattered around the city. Easy to make and very cute. Here’s the instruction guide I followed.
Well, that’s all for today, folks. Hope you have a great week.
