Patting the backs and tooting each others horns

[TheRainMan]

Congrats Pat on your acceptances

congratulations patrick . . .

You are a gem and I adore you . . .

thanks, you 3.

All I know is that it gets rarer and rarer for a writer of true quality to get noticed, I couldn't be happier to see it happen. Kudos, Rainbow!

and you too, new poet. your words are very kind, darkerdrummer.

 

[TheRainMan]

Congratulations, big time poet!
It must feel so great to have your hard work paying off like this. Roll on roll on

you're an inspiration for me, jenny.

gotta share these two acceptances -- they're big doors to knock down. i've been ramming into them for a while:

The Connecticut Review

The Evansville Review

Very impressive, Mr. Man. The link to The Evansville Review notes the current issue has work by T.C. Boyle, Robert Olen Butler, W.D. Snodgrass, and Richard Wilbur. Oh yeah--these guys Borges, Cavafy, and Rilke, too. Probably others I should recognize, but don't. Pretty heady company. Are you on the board in Vegas yet for the Pulitzer? If they're giving you good odds, I might risk a fin or two.

lol . . thanks, Seattle.

good stuff, no?

save the sawbuck. next time i'm out west, maybe you can buy me a black & tan.

thanks, julie.

competition's got nothing to do with it, i don't think. other's successes should have as little bearing on one's level of misery as their failures should have on one's level of joy.

i have enough rejection slips to wallpaper my attic. i don't list those here.

you are a writer -- a fine one . . . get your work out there, to the eyes of qualified, objective strangers, not friends or enemies.

they'll tell you all you need to know about your poetry, and about what you need to do next.

going through the patting the backs...very lax in the congrats...very impressed...belated congrats to all here...very special congrats to you Pat, very special good luck to you Julie.

good stuff, Miss Maine.

 

[wildsweetone]

Angeline, you have the enviable ability to make form poetry look so very easy to achieve. you write it so well, that the reading is smooth, the repetition heavy with impact. i always enjoy reading your poetry and these two poems are no exception. congratulations.

 

[Maria2394]

good stuff, Miss Maine.

I'm sorta confused....Ange, did you post something new there? I read those wonderful pieces a long time ago, in fact you were the one who told me about the PAW site.


Congrats, Sis, keep up the excellent, touching work. You inspire in so many different ways. I know you gave me the confidence to keep trying with my poetry when I was ready to give up, many, many times!!

Love you and miss you. I hope you are feeling much better than you had a while back.

one day you're going to have to 'Get International' with your publications you know, patrick. this is the second time i've had to dangle emails back and forth in order to pay to read you - online forms are so American. it's becoming a habit. lol

maybe i should just buy direct from you and paypal you the money.

oh.. congratulations!

Hey.

Can you slow down the pub schedule, Pat? Sheesh. You're publishing so often that you're consuming my book-buying bandwidth, dude. What am I gonna do when Dan Brown publishes another book? Two words: Hobson's choice.

Ah, hell. Congratulations, sir. You are inspiration.

Now if I could only remember where the hell I left my talent.... In the basement someplace, I think, but I can't seem to find the effing thing. I did find that 9/16ths socket wrench I was looking for, though, so that rummaging around down there warn't all to waste. I was sure that's where I left my talent, though. Last place I saw it, anyway. I know it's someplace around here. I keep telling my agent it's just misplaced.

Anyway. Hey. Not your problem. My congrats. I'll even buy you a beer next time you're in WA. May even excursion to PT, if that's what it takes.

Now I know you're on the Grammer Police force, you even have secret agents!! </jealous fit>
