Sorry I have been neglecting you, blogger-friends, although I have been writing a lot, it's mostly on my live journal, which offers semi-anonymity. One of those sexy pieces I posted there caught the attention of Daphne Gottlieb (the subculture poet I've worshipped since I read "Why Things Burn") and she offered me a chance to be the featured poet on Lodestar Quarterly which she edits. Past featured writers -- Michelle Tea, Mark Doty, etc, etc, famous-cakes.

After I stopped screaming and hyperventilating, I sent her five pieces, which I hope don't make her change her mind.

If I am accepted, because of how "hot" one of the poems is, when you google "Slut", my name will pop up. At least more than it does now. Hah.
