  • A question of gender

    I need to let you know that I have a poem in the current issue of poemeleon. The Gender Issue.

    As Cati Porter, the editor, explains:

    . . . rather than “sort” us out, or rather, box us in, this issue strives to bring together many voices, all speaking about a variety of gendered experiences, informed equally by the genders we are prescribed at birth as well as the ones that we choose for ourselves.

    The issue contains work by 46 poets of all genders, ages, and styles. Not to mention all moods.

    Worth your while to explore.

    And I should especially recommend the three poems by my long-time critiquing partner, Andrea O’Brien (until recently an adopted Kentucky poet but now a denizen of Denver).

    Oh, and another adopted Kentucky poet and friend of mine (at least a Facebook friend of mine), Tom Hunley, is book review editor of poemeleon.

    Which reminds me that I should send apologies to my identi.ca, Twitter, and Facebook friends, who’ve seen this announcement more times than they need to.

  1. Sherry, your Manifesto is superb. Now excuse me while I go paint my toenails!

  2. This was a fantastic issue of the lit mag! I loved reading your work and the work from so many other poets I admire :)

  3. Thanks, Jessica & Jessie! It is truly a great issue and I hope people who go to read my poem will stick around to read others.
