Blogosphere, I apologize for the spate of radio silence, but I have been preparing for an absence of several days, as I’m flying to New York on Sunday and reading at the Cornelia Street Cafe Monday night for the Toadlily Press Edge by Edge launch reading. I am beyond excited about this, but boy has there been a great deal of catch-up work that had to be done in advance. This is the point where the whole “working three jobs” metaphor becomes painfully real.
Updating my CV this morning, I noticed that a great many of my poems have appeared on page 13 of journals. I wonder if this is a sign?
Hopefully I’ll see some of you New Yorkers on Monday! I’m planning on busting out some new work, which is terrifying, yet thrilling.
Emma Bolden is the author of How To Recognize A Lady, a chapbook of poems published as part of Edge by Edge, the third in Toadlily Press' Quartet Series, and The Mariner's Wife, a chapbook published by Finishing Line Press. Her third chapbook, The Sad Epistles, is forthcoming from Dancing Girl Press. She was the recipient of a Tennessee Williams Scholarship to the Sewanee Writers' Conference and was named a Finalist for a Ruth Lilly Fellowship by the Poetry Foundation/Poetry magazine. Her work has been published or is forthcoming in such journals as Prairie Schooner, the Indiana Review, Feminist Studies, The Journal, Redivider, The Greensboro Review, and Verse. Her manuscript was a semi-finalist for the Perugia Press Prize. She is a Visiting Assistant Professor of English at Georgetown College, where she also serves as the poetry editor of the Georgetown Review.
