Thanks to The Kenyon Review for taking a poem, "A Long Time I've Wanted to Say Something" for their Winter issue. It's one of the closing poems of My Index of Slightly Horrifying Knowledge, so I'm excited. First time for me in the KR. I have years of rejection slips somewhere.

Still in a cast. X-rays later this week. A new cast. Should I go with pink again or choose another color?

Working on a memoir chapter about riding the short bus in high school. In which blood, feces, and strangulation figure prominently.
Yay high school.

That poem rocks. Is it still on this blog somewhere? Was it ever? Maybe I don't even know what I'm talking about?
Not pink. Camouflage? Camouflage.
Oh, yes, pink. Just to spite you. Ha!
pink. absolutely.
y high school memories involve blood, feces, and strangulation.
One of my favorite poems!
But more importantly,
have you had an unbearable itch inside your cast yet that you can't possibly scratch?
Get well soon.
You see The Dark Knight yet? Shoot me an email with your thoughts. I loved it, even with all the baggage hype.
You should get a feudal cast.
