Looking forward to getting the latest edition of Agave, the elegant international journal that has been kind enough to take a second poem, The Sort of Fleeting Afterglow.
As I contemplated applying to grad school again, I realized that the hardest part of the process might be getting letters of recommendation for my creative work. But I would like to thank two people who vouched for me. Jacob Silkstone, managing editor at the U.K. and Pakistan based international journal The Missing Slate , vouched for me by way of the pieces I'd published there. I also reached out to a professional writing contact, Judge JoAnne Kloppenberg, now the presiding judge of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals . I was lucky enough to have Jo Anne represent many of my decisions in the environmental protection unit of the Department of Justice. She vouched for my quasi-judicial decisions and lawyerly writing. With their help, I was accepted into the MFA program in fiction at Augsburg College in Minneapolis. Thanks to both for your support, and more on Augsburg in a later post.
I am honored that my short story, "What I Call Life" will be forthcoming in Rosebud literary magazine's 25th Anniversary issue #65. I am a subscriber now but have also purchased it many times at Barnes and Noble stores around the US. It's the fifth of my my group of linked stories to be published and especially meaningful to have it published in magazine I've long admired. Many thanks to editor Roderick Clark.
