Make Friday Write

OK folks. I’m away from the computer today so I’m attempting to blog on my phone! I apologize in advance ;)

Here are some items I wanted to mention.

First how about a poet in residence at the zoo? Then a review of my chapbook and another brilliant interview by another poet in Fox Chase Review. You can also read some drunk stuff in the current issue of Steel Toe Review. I’d also suggest a stop by Rose Auslander ‘s blog to hear about her upcoming memoir or maybe congratulate one of my former students good news of publication. LAST my AM chapbook is on amazon?

Here is my poem.for the week. New project! Share yours.for.one week. Darn periods!

–and my poem is outta here :)

  1. Thanks for the shout out, Jessie. My publication wouldn’t have been possible without you. I appreciate your guidance then, and now. You’re the best :-)

  2. Wow, love love love your poem, Jessie! That’s it, just love it. :-)

    Congrats to your student, it’s obvious you are an excellent teacher as well as poet.

    Great links in here too, some really interesting stuff. When I first saw “drunk stuff” I was like, Whauuuut?? Everything I ever wrote drunk stinks….then I was like, OHHHHHHH…….LoL. Great stuff there as well. :-D Also, what a really nice review of AM. I still need to go check out Rose Auslander’s blog though.

    I haven’t written much this week. One I like, two I ended up deleteing, and this thing which I just drafted like ten minutes ago, so….don’t judge. ha ha. But please comment/suggest :-)

    –poem is gone

    • wow Val, you are at it again! This is such a strong poem (prose poem?)! So good it just sunk me and washed me away too! You are a force to be reckoned with. :) woohoo to all you are writing and are yet to write!

      • Thanks you guys! I had a crazy weekend so you have no idea how much seeing this from you two perks me up! I only have one other one now that I think is worth submittig so I’m happy to add this one to the list. Thanks again!

  3. Jessie, thank you so much for the shout-out for my blog — means the world, truly. And thanks to all who are stopping by! I love all the poems: Jessie’s southern “skin, lard, organs and bone,” Kathie’s “Bingo!” and V’s “Jesus, baby, they’re just words . . .”

    Me, I’m going crazy trying to rebuild the apartment where our tenant was murdered by his lover, into a place my daughter can live now that she’s graduated college and looking for a job: http://roseauslander.wordpress.com/movingbackhome/ So I don’t have any draft poems to share today — links to my published ones are here: http://roseauslander.wordpress.com/my-published-work-links/

    Wishing everyone a beautiful weekend :-)

  4. Ah Jessie, you do so good from your phone!!! You can do anything! Thank you for all the good stuff to check out . . .enjoyed it all! And thank you for getting us hooked up with Rose!
    Your poem was so full and fun and I would follow that tour guide for sure! :) Not much writing going on here, but hopefully I’ll have something to share next time! Here is something friend Caddo Veil posted for Six word Saturday . .. I loved it!
