I got word that Lit Shark took 3 of my poems! McKenzie Tozan, the editor of the journal has been a joy to work with. You can see her beautiful new issue here. And then, to add icing to the cake, she told me that two of those poems would be included in their “Best of” Anthology for 2023. In any case, I’m so happy that I submitted to them– it’s been such a positive experience. I think I learned about them from the Facebook page Frank Modica introduced me to where everyone tries to get to 100 publication rejections (and hopefully, along the way, a few acceptances!). The group is very supportive and also the members share a lot of info about places that are taking submissions which helps me find places like Lit Shark.
Here’a photo of my from my last reading at John Palen’s home last month. We had a great turnout. So thankful for people in my community who are willing to open up their homes to host events, and also those that will come out– even in awful weather!– to attend readings.
