Writing now to share the good news that my chapbook, "Living on the Earth," which had been a runner-up in your Anabiosis Press contest when it was called "Living on the Moon" is now revised and the winner of an honorable mention in the Finishing Line Press New Women's Voices competition. As a finalist, it will be published in 2010! It contains the poems "Resurrection on the 4th of July" and "The End of the Garden," which you published in Albatross, for which I thank you! You are already credited in the manuscript!!

And also #20--my favorites Linda King, William Keener (I love the way each image resonants with its follower), Andy Roberts, and Michael Shorb (his contrarian persona reminds me of our "Viking" cousins up in Grand Marais, MN--a different perspective from my own, but then I don't count on that deer for my winter's meat supply). The contents of Albatross vividly reflect my own world-view (don't you hate words like "world-view"--but at the moment I can't think of a better phrase).

That was a quickly posted comment. Do you have an RSS feed? The journal was based in Gainesville for its first 9 years. We had it printed at Target Copy Center (at corner of 13th and University: this shopping center, by the way (where Goering's Bookstore was), has been eliminated! They are building a church I've heard. So when were you in Gainesville? Wow! That was a quickly posted comment. Do you have an RSS feed? The journal was based in Gainesville for its first 9 years.
