To people who read this blog!

  • Meet Saaed Jones, an exciting young poet, who will be joining the MFA at Rutgers-Newark!
  • Remember when Sarah Schulman wrote in Slate about the novel she spent eight years trying to publish? Well that novel, The Child, is up for a Lambda Award. File that under Keep on keeping on.
  • Nichelle, my favorite cupcake enthusiast, is going to be on the Martha Stewart Show.
  • And Kirk, whom I taught when he was just a wee freshman, has been accepted into the Creative Writing major at George Washington. That young man is going places!
  • Another reader who is feeling shy, has won an 11-month fellowship here. (I had never heard of this place, but it seems really cool. Not to sound like a little old lady, but where were such opportunities when I was starting out???)

    I know there's more good news out there. Drop me an email and let me tell the whole world about it!
