Where have you published lately?

My latest acceptance was in The Southern Review (http://thesouthernreview.org/), coming out this summer. Also had another one accepted in Found Poetry Review, which is a fun magazine to read.

My father just died this past week, so I’ve not felt much like writing or submitting for a while. Hopefully that will return soon. (Yes, I know about the “writing grief” workshop but don’t feel I’m ready for that just yet.)

Sheila, this is not a comment, but a notice
that the current issue of POETICA, in which a
poem of my appears, is available. The first print magazine “appearance,” for me.
You’d noted it on the Fan Page and asked that I let members know when the issue was out.
I didn’t know where to respond on the fan page so I’m letting it be known here.

And now that I’m here, I’ll add that reading all the works in that one issue helps give me
an overall of what that Jewish-focused publication prints. The range of material spurs me on, as well.
P.S. above is my new email address.

My book, MOMENTS OF DAWN: A Poetic Memoir of
Love & Family, Affliction & Affirmation —
is just released by Conflux Press. Sheila, I will be forever grateful to you; without your guidance, suggestions, editing, and encouragement, this would not have happened.
An Amazon kindle edition is available with the Amazon link, website: nancysmilerlevinson.com,
or key words Alzheimer’s, cancer, memoir. Print edition directly from me at my website or through Conflux Press.

Adding: Five of my prose/poems have been accepted by four journals: Touch: The Journal of Healing; The Barefoot Review; Vine Leaves Literary Journal; and Poetica (Judaism themed). An on-line poetry class with Sheila and four other students was my first such writing prose/poetry with a class. This was inspiring and most helpful.

Of interest to other WIR writers:
Touch and Barefoot Review publish works about illness. Others also dealing with illness are
The Healing Muse; Bellevue Literary Review;
Medical Humanities (poetry only); Hospital Drive; The Medical Muse; Plexus; The Human Factor; Blood and Thunder; and Pulse. Others exist but many take only submissions from someone in the medical field.

I self-published my second chapbook of Finnish-American poetry, Bunchgrass and Buttercups. My friend, Leslee Dixon Pate, says in her blurb, “Bunchgrass and Buttercups transports us to a collective Deep River that can be found in all of us – with return flights to find things once lost.” Oh yes, and acknowledgements include Sheila Bender, Writing it Real. Also, includes three very good recipes should you be in the mood to cook! Available on Amazon.

One of my pieces “A Tale of Comfort” was published in WINTER: Women’s Stories, Poems, and Inspiration for the Season of Rest and Renewal. The book launched on 4/25/2012. Editors Deb Landwehr Engle and Diane Glass plan to put out three more books this year for the other seasons and are still taking work for consideration.
