What a week...

A lot has happened over the last few days. I am in the process of crafting a response to the world at large, but for today just some brief personal news. Last month I submitted a poem to Wanderlust, a literary journal here in Hawaii, and today I received word that they have accepted it, pending my reaction to one or two editorial changes (always an interesting negotiation). It is a poem called Santa Fe, which I wrote a few years ago. While this will be the first publication, I have read the piece publicly, so some of you may have heard it. That is all for now, but I am hoping to finish up a longish entry before the weekend.
