Shortlists and Longlists
I’ve been neglecting this blog recently in favor of cottaging; however I’ve returned to two pieces of good news this week.
1. The Velocity of Escape has been longlisted for the 2009 Re-Lit Award. While the Re-Lit longlist should really be called a long-longlist, I love the concept behind this award and am thrilled to have been included.
2. An excerpt from my forthcoming booklength poem Sunday, the locusts was shortlisted in the Matrix Lit-Pop competition. Congrats to the recently announced winner Romana Prokopiw.
