Poet's Place Cover
The Poet’s Place: A Collection of Works is a collection of up-and-coming poets compiled by editor and teacher Justin R. Mcmanus. It is my first publication of the year, and a great way to kick off 2009. I spent the majority of last year writing, submitting, and publishing, and this is one of many rewards being reaped from that effort.
I was awake for two straight days submitting to this particular publication, hunched over my ever-slowing laptop tweaking each word until it fit as perfect as it could. I submitted ten poems, and of those, four were accepted: “Cupid,” “The Last Dance,” “This is Your Captain Speaking,” and “Mon Poèt Maudit, Mon Oiseau du Feu.”
You can purchase a copy from amazon.com for $13. It’s a nice way to support current and future artists, as well as pad any negative karma you may have incurred.
