Jeffrey Boldt Writes

Nice Minnesota Public Radio story about the  Lake Superior poetry anthology  launch and reading in Duluth this weekend. It was a pleasure to meet Jim Pearlman, the other anthology editors and to meet and hear so many fine poets and artists who, like me, love the sweet water sea. Another highlight was the lyrical and inspired singing of Sara Thomsen .You can buy the anthology here .

Here's an article by attorney Christa Westerberg about some of my recent decisions in my day job as an administrative law judge, Groundwater: Diminishing Resource, Increasing Conflict . It was the cover story in this month's Wisconsin Lawyer.

My poem The North , intended as a response to  Jorge Luis Borges’  The South   (El Sur), has been accepted into a book that’s coming out this summer—called Amethyst and Agate: Poems of Lake Superior   to be published by   Holy Cow! Press . It was first published in The MacGuffin in 1990.

Just received the galleys for My Once-Favorite Cousin, my short-story that will soon be published in the Fall 2014 issue of The MacGuffin.  It's the third story from my Blue Lake collection of stories to have been published this year, and the second to appear in The MacGuffin. Many thanks to editor  Prof. Steven A. Dolgin and managing editor Gordon Krupsky for their support of my work, and to their magazine for publishing my poetry and stories over the past three decades.

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.

Just received the beautiful new Spring 2014 J Journal . Proud to have my poem N o Mutants Yet in Baxter’s Hollow in such fine company.
