Or are Americans half in love with failure?

Ending what I estimate to be a ten-year drought, which was drought-y because I hardly ever sent poems out until last March, I’ve had a poem taken.

The best part: this one was written right around the time I stopped sending stuff out, but revised just recently. Carolina Quarterly will bring it into the world in a few months. Sweet.

CQ was the last place I had work published, come to think of it– a capsule review of Jay Snodgrass’s Monster Zero in 2003.

HEY– if anyone has a copy in electronic format of the W.S. Merwin poem “Paul,” or if you know which of Merwin’s books the poem appears in, do me a solid and send it my way. I really want a copy of that poem.
