poetically challenged

I recently received my copy of the 2009 Poet’s Market. This is a really useful book for finding suitable markets for publishing one’s poetry.  It was in the 2007 edition that I first came across Sam’s Dot Publishing, a place that has helped me get off the ground as a poet.  I have found the Poet’s Market to be an invaluable guide, and would recommend it to anyone who hopes to see their poetry in print on a regular basis.  I’ve more than made back the money I spent on BOTH editions already, so I can attest that it is very useful, especially for the poet just getting started.

My blogging friend has started a new blog called Prayer Corner. You can go there and request prayers, “no strings attached.” Stop in if you are needed a prayer offered on your behalf.

December was a very odd, very stressful month for me, and that weird schedule kept me from posting regularly here.  But, I will begin posting more frequently again now, with updates on poetry markets and other poetry- and writing-related news and thoughts as I get them.
