To people who read this blog!

I wasn't planning on posting this until next week, but I am soooo sick with a terrible cold. Please forgive me, but I need to post this good news right away in an effort to cheer myself up. Please give these good folks a standing ovation.

  • Owen Duffy published a story, "Winter Lake," in Passages North.
  • Michael Fischer has published "The Crazy Man" in Raliegh Quarterly.
  • My wunderkind student, Michael Fauver, is, among other things, going to MacDowell!
  • Niki Herd received an individual grant from the Arizona Commission on the arts.
  • Laraine Herring just sold her third book to Shambhala Press.
  • Give it up for John Espinoza. His book of poetry, The Date Fruit Elegies, has been nominated for the Northern California Book Award in Poetry.


    Got good news? Tell me about it! And stay tuned for a special edition of the Good News series. Five folks out there-- 1,2,3,4,5 --- are celebrating thier first books! If there are more, let me know.
