February 15, 2009 6:46 pm PoetryBusy poetry week. On Monday, I was featured on Poetry Daily, which was wonderful. I’m indebted to the editors for the opportunity. On Tuesday and Thursday, I subbed for some classes at UNC. Then, this weekend, I sent my completed manuscript to a contest for the first time and applied to be a waiter at Bread Loaf this summer. (And here’s how stupid I am– when I applied to Bread Loaf, I inadvertently left Poetry Daily off of my publications list. Dangit!)
I didn’t get to go to AWP and had to read all kinds of tweets and Facebook statuses from those who did. So I feel pretty good that I at least got something done.
Next up tonight: Sending the manuscript to a press that actually solicited a manuscript from me, and writing a poem. Because, did I mention, I’m on a poem-a-day duty until the end of the month? Oh yeah, I am.

I am a student at SUNY Brockport and I am doing a presentation on your poem Two Swans.
I was hoping you could email me and we could discuss the meaning of the poem.
I can be emailed at Placito0926@aol.com
thanks

Ross congrats again (or first if I didn’t do it in any official posting way) on Poetry Daily! I loved getting a chance to read your poem
And congrats on getting your manuscript out there. Had my first rejection letter out of the few places I have sent it to, but I bet you’ll be picked up quick!!
And wish you had been at AWP. I had a great time but I think everyone in the South is required to go in 2011 to DC. REQUIRED!

Hey, man! Are you trying to get a spot at Bread Loaf at UNCA? Holler if you are–I’m teaching a summer school course over there.
