I'm doing well. My poetry is doing better than ever before. I've recently had five poems accepted for publication--one more in Eclectica, two in Antigonish Review, and two in The Michigan City Review of Books. Anyway, I recently submitted a chapbook to the Black Lawrence Press Chapbook Contest. Publishing chapbooks and full-length books is not my goal. My goal is to get as many poems published in magazines and anthologies as possible. I think I will be getting paid by the Antigonish Review. Getting paid is also good. Maybe I will get paid ten dollars for the two poems. It will be nice to finally cash those checks. These are all fine magazines, but Antigonish Review is especially good. They are located in Nova Scotia. I think this will be the first time I have been published outside the United States. They have an exceptional website. I just heard about The Michigan City Review of Books recently. I like their selection of poems. They are a very small operation. And, of course, I have been published in Eclectica many times. You can search for some more of my poems and one of my essays in their back issues. Just look up my name.
My first book of poems, Late Alabama, is available through Amazon.
Peace,
Joel
