The June issue of Free State Review will publish a new poem, “Symmetry of Limbs.” I’m grateful to their editor Barrett Warner for all his work on this insightful journal.
I’m delighted that Poet Lore, America’s oldest continuously running literary magazine has published “Confederate Flag Dream #2.” This issue has some awesome poetry in it by such lights as Samiya Bashir, Teri Ellen Cross, Kwame Dawes, Honoree F. Jeffers, Marge Piercy and many others. I’m grateful to editors E. Ethelbert Miller and Jody Bolz.
I’m very honored that my poem “If Mamie Till Was the Mother of God” won the Pratt Library/Little Patuxent Review Poetry Prize. It will be published in an upcoming issue of Little Patuxent Review and the amazing folks at Baltimore’s Pratt Library created a beautiful poster of the entire poem in one of the library’s windows. I am also grateful that the staff of Little Patuxent Review nominated this poem for a 2012 Pushcart Prize.
I’m grateful to have two poems in The New Sound, a journal from the University of New Haven. This is a new publication by editors Randall Horton, Todd Jokl, and Margaret Savilonis.
I’m thrilled to have my poem, “For David Kato: A Love Poem” on the Feminist Wire. It posted December 28, 2011 thanks to editor Darnell L. Moore.
