Not Somewhere Else

So. Tired. Of. The. Snow. And the wind, and the cold. Everybody predicted a hard winter. They were right. I was out in it today to 1) avoid cabin fever 2) get groceries 3) mail a couple chapbooks to people who helped me with it 4) get a new planner-style calendar with Christmas gift card to Barnes & Noble, plus 5) the newest Best American Poetry anthology, to continue my lifelong learning.

Before that, and before I was kicked off the Internet*, I posted the new poetry feature at Escape Into Life--Mia Avramut (poet/physician), with art by Luca Bartolato.

*So. Tired. Of. Getting. Kicked. Off. The. Internet. (See how that's kind of like thinking in winter boots?)

While on the Internet, I also saw the cover of Not Somewhere Else But Here: A Contemporary Anthology of Women and Place, Sundress Publications, forthcoming in February, but you can pre-order it now, if you want. Poetry and prose, and the link also shows you The Men of Sun(dress), a marvelous monthly calendar I have hung on the door to the downstairs bathroom, where my son, on a recent visit home, stood patiently flipping through all the wacky and wonderful photos of men in sundresses. He liked it.

So. Do. I.

Too. Much. Snow.
