I think...no...I think I will keep that to myself.

I do have a question, though--simultaneous submissions, OK, or not?

Wait till I find out who suggested "Realistic Love" as an entry! I love this piece but didn't think humor was wanted.

I have seen some of my all time favorites pieces in the submissions!!!!! Yeah..

Kiwi... You have a slew of great pieces!

Well, the theme (well, sort of theme) is supposed to be poems you can be proud of, ones you think that can stand up to critical review by the readers and critics. You can be proud of having a sense of humor, of being able to make others laugh or smile while still being artful and serious about the quality.

Sorry to make you work so hard. I have considered the 'List,' spoken with a friend and this is my final answer:

THE POEM - A humble tribute to the creative process.

ALWAYS IS FOREVER - Thinking of a loved-one who has 'moved on.'

WHERE WOULD I BE? - A traditional sonnet. Some thoughts about life and love.

JUSTAPOSITION - A crazy mixed up world.

And finally THE CHELSEA PENSIONER - A salute to my uncle Charlie and all the courageous men who fought in the trenches of World War One.

Spargo, I thank you for your time, effort and consideration. I hope these selections are suitable. All the best.

Hi Spargo,

we are getting closer to the deadline and I just wrote a new piece that is getting really good reviews and it has been suggested that I pass it on to you for the second book. So, as we are limited to five-please take 'Always is Forever' off the list and substitute 'The Shore'. Thanks, hope you are well. All the best. I will email it to you.

I'll be submitting some of what I think are my best poems this weekend, if not sooner. I think they fit the guidelines, which are reasonable, IMO.

Kydd Dustyn · 11-09-2011 11:43:26

Great. I've been trying to read through the workshopped poems being submitted one poet at a time. When you post your list, I can go back and put them in my read file.

And yes, jpb, that's why you were getting reviews on old poems...

I read through the list SPargo sent me.

I haven't hit the ones on this list.

Kydd, I'm trying to decide on whether I should put in After I Killed God or if I should magazine shop it first when I'm done editing.

Kydd Dustyn · 11-09-2011 12:22:55

Shopping it would take a while. It's usually weeks before you hear back. The deadline for vol. 2 is December 1.

I guess it's up to you if you want to wait and insert it in vol. 3.

JMHO.

TirzahLaughs · 11-09-2011 12:26:29

If it doesn't get printed this Volume, I won't fall on my sword. I just don't feel the poems I have picked out are really great, you know?

Sigh.

Kydd Dustyn · 11-09-2011 12:33:27

I've got some new ones that I like better than the ones I submitted, but my new ones haven't had time to really get reviewed adequately--plus, I haven't had time to let them mature yet.

Since we're supposed to be submitting already workshopped stuff anyway, my new stuff doesn't really qualify. It's been rough going through the list and checking each one as to whether it's been workshopped or not and whether it's had time to be 'tuned-up'.

As for my own, I don't remember submitting all those titles for Spargo. Poor man. . I'm a hypocrite, because I've been complaining about others who have thrown in their entire body of work since grade school... hehehehe. Honestly, next time I'll pick five and two alternates. That's it.

Damn wishy-washy poets... oh wait, that's me too!

I knew that. After I thought about it for a couple of days. Ha! But I still like that you did it.

Kydd Dustyn · 11-09-2011 15:24:52

No prob, jp. I love your poetry, so it's a real pleasure.

Hi Spargo,

I would like to revise my original list of submitted poetry.

Of the five submitted for consideration, I would like to replace Fear the Ocean with She's Gone, leaving Fear as an optional submission.

Revised List;

Strength to watch an old man die
A Child
unknowing
Demons
She's Gone

Thanks so much for all of your hard work and consideration.

Just checking in on developments...I will be peeking in now and then...

Ethereal Angel · 12-01-2011 21:04:49

Peek-a-boo...checking in again...any news?

tina_dc_hayes · 12-01-2011 21:09:28

I was wondering too

Kydd Dustyn · 12-02-2011 00:12:18

A couple of us have sent emails to Jano and Mark. We're still waiting. Maybe they're busy or out of town.

Kydd

Jackson James · 12-13-2011 19:38:16

Hi Mark,

How are you? SITREP. I'll bet you are up to your armpits. All the best, hope to hear something from you soon, and if I don't, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

JJ

rhiannon · 01-24-2012 18:28:12

Hope I'm not too late; I am writing poetry again; a Writer's Dash did the trick, and i want to gather some of mine for the anthology. Can anyone give me suggestions; those who have read my stuff. What would they include in a "Best of Rhiannon's poetry." From the intellectualism of the critics of my "Nothing Like a Gander," it goes in. But I am not the best judge of the quality of my own stuff. (Who of us are? lol) Thanks in advance. And if I am too late for the 2nd book, I will definitely not miss the 3rd!

Jackson James · 01-29-2012 22:22:31

Anyone heard anything from Spargo?

tina_dc_hayes · 01-29-2012 22:55:42

Is Book II still a go? Just wondering.

Kydd Dustyn · 01-30-2012 10:18:26

Yes, it is, tina. No worries. Vol. 1 isn't even out quite yet, but should be soon we hope.

tina_dc_hayes · 01-30-2012 11:41:41

Great! Thanks Kydd

Jackson James · 01-31-2012 19:02:03

Mark, Where are you? What's happening?
